If you’re considering consulting post mba, go for MBB. Please

Sure if you’re 100% set on becoming partner then it will be easier at Deloitte. But by going to MBB you have a higher NPV. Even in as little as 2 years. Probably even if you have to exit MBB in 4 years and become partner at Deloitte.

I’ll be devil’s advocate here but if you’re only in consulting for 2 years post-mba, the salary + bonuses (and GSAP) at Deloitte might be even higher than MBB, without the stress of recruiting. So GSAP might actually be a better deal

like

Stress aside, the salary / bonus / gsap at Deloitte < Salary / Bonus at MBB for the 2 years. When you make that decision, take into account 401K match + healthcare insurance, etc.

In addition exit opps + 3rd year at MBB are much higher...all of his is possibly worth the stress of recruiting at MBA.

For me choice is obvious. Just do your homework before you decide is all I’m trying to say.

If you’re going to live in this world: be rich. 👌🏾

You have a higher chance of interview as you’re consulting

It’s a crap deal :/. Our insurance and base aren’t worth the Gsap money, much less trajectory

Lol yup

I can appreciate the sentiment but I think there's a huge range of nuance here.

This x100. Even with gsap, you’re better off at mbb

Does MBB primarily recruit for interns that turn into full time? I would think it’s risky to go for the internship at MBB because you are then losing your fallback option at D (since interning at MBB is not allowed)

It’s about 1/3 FT and 2/3 intern, trending towards more interns

Would you recommend shooting for the internship and taking that risk then?

Yes take that internship if you are 100% sure about MBB. However I recommend it’s also worth trying something completely new for internship if you have an itch. I’m talking about something you can’t do in consulting like startup or Private Equity

Are there any penalties for dropping out of gsap?

You have to sign an offer by October or November to get full signing bonus. Nothing happens if you don’t

Will appreciate any suggestions. Thanks! 🙏🏻

Post-MBA, 5 weeks into consulting and I hate the weekends. It means I’m one week deeper in the job, and therefore performing another week lower than the level I’m expected to perform at.

I try my best to improve but I still feel so anxious, to the point that I started crying at my desk. What do I do? Anyone here quit within a month?
