Yes, normal. Know of a PwC director who moved to BCG as a project leader. Had to go through case interviews.

Not MBB and not a director obviously, but this sounds really strange to me...

I’ve heard that below partner, case interviews are expected.

Yes, also expect to potentially go one level below.

Definitely yes, also as the others say you will push down 1-2 levels as MBB typically don’t equate tenure at other firms

Hi guys, After CAF completion by last week, yesterday I received a call from the HR for the second round of evaluation.

But suddenly today I received an email that my candidature isn't suitable for the role and they're keeping my profile in the database. Does this mean they'll call me if there are openings with some other project?

Hello!
I was wondering what kind of contractual or other barriers I might face if I apply for one of the big 4 while working on a project with them in my current company.
I am not too involved in the project but I was in a few meetings and went on a field trip with them as well.
The position that I am applying for is in a different team and city.
Will this considered “poaching” if the consulting firm hires me? Would they need to talk to my current employer?

Additional Posts in Consulting Exit Opportunities

Struggling to find an exit opportunity in Singapore. Been looking for over a year now and the only ones who have shown interest are other consulting firms (looking for an industry exit) (contd..)

Here is my idea for a startup! I collect all the data from career transitions and use Data Analytics to predict the most likely career transitions. I could start with consulting. What do you guys think about this? I would be able to predict based on your firm(mbb, big4), your experience, which role you are likely to move (Faang pm, strategy manager, move to mbb). I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?
