If I placed into MBB pre-MBA as a specialist or in a data analytics role (not generalist), could I leverage an M7 MBA offer to switch teams internally? Essentially fill a spot on the post-MBA cohort without having to re-interview?

When I was at BCG I saw a pricing specialist who moved into a generalist consulting role in Atlanta.
The biggest factor is not your education but whether or not you are awesome and people want to work with you in that capacity. If you have a partner who likes you and will staff you anything is possible.

Seems unlikely, you can’t put an offer on your resume (not saying the mba “should” matter, but it does) and how would you immediately transfer to a post mba role without the mba or equivalent degree?

@Mck1, should have clarified, in this scenario you’d work 2 years at MBB, then after the 2nd year present the M7 offer (that you intend to go to B-school, but would like to return on another team)

Mck1- I am hoping to do the same actually sometime down the road (on specialist track)... would you be willing to ask that person if they’re open to connecting? 😅 I can DM you as well!

At Bain there is a different interview process for internal folks who get an MBA but want to come back as a generalist consultant. My understanding is that it is much more relaxed. Caveat, all of my knowledge on this subject is second and third hand.

Yeah, it’s much more clear cut if you are already in the generalist consulting track. I am not 100% sure how it works
