McKinsey & Company Has any industry experienced candidates pivot to MBB Engagement Manager before? My roommate works at FAANG as Senior Analyst (Ops, 6+ YOE) and was approached by McKinsey & Company recruiter for an EM role. He hasn’t done consulting before. Would this be too much of a risk? His goal is to pivot to PE S&O eventually.

Wait, what? You think a high GMAT score will get you into MBB without the actual degree? For real?
McKinsey, Bain, BCG
770
What's GMAT got to do with that?
Don't you need a degree with relevant experience to be considered for management consulting?
It's not like university applications.
Ah - I still think if you have the right people the score won't matter. Also 770 is great. That's higher than the HBS average probably. (Unless you're asian).
@OP a 770 GMAT will get you a long way. What's your GPA, major, school type? Being real smart goes a long way with us. A partner referral would get a baboon an interview, but it won't get anyone an offer.

What's a MBB?
What did you get OP?
Wondering if it's enough for an interview
I think the networking you do would probably be more important. MBB people correct me if I'm wrong but I feel like if you have a partner or whatever giving you the referral you could have a 200 on your GMAT and still get an interview
GMAT score is part of the online application. So this is why I'm asking
EY 1 it helps. They like you more. A lot of elite firms ask for GMAT scores on grad school applications.
Asian female 😞. Planning to apply to business school in the fall
I agree with EY1
@EY1 - following for your response to the Asian comment
Gpa - 3.6. Went to a private university in the south on a full ride - studied business. Have decent community involvement and got an early promotion to manager this past year. I'm not in a heavy quant role right now, more change management type work - don't know if that will hurt my chances at a top school
There any reason you don't want to get the MBA?
I'm already a manager with pretty specific specialty. I studied business undergrad as well and EY doesn't sponsor MBAs so everything would be paid out of pocket. My primary motivation to apply is for the network and recruiting opps
