Is it really that hard to get into MBB? Just noticing a lot of posts from big 4 employees having difficulty getting in. Just asking, not really interested to move.

That's actually a pretty good career trajectory. Delloite out of undergrad, to HBS, to MBB.

Depends what you mean by difficult. I would say, in general, it’s more competitive to get into MBB than Big 4 in on-campus recruiting. These firms prefer to promote from within, so it doesn’t get that much less competitive.

When I say reviews, I’m referring to employee reviews

I’m tired of pivoting. I feel like my job has growth potential and I like my company. Also it seems like my company places a lot of emphasis on experience and I can only get that with time.

On the other hand I work on a small team and there is definitely room for improvement. I think the issue is the size of the team? Like, if there were 2-3 more people it wouldn’t be too bad.

I’m conflicted. Thoughts?

Can anyone help me?
I’m 25 and have an array of experience within environmental science. I mostly enjoy being a field employee but recognize the pay is not always great. My current position is bureaucratic and technically oriented which is great for skills but not for growth. I know I have more to offer and want to expand into different areas of STEM. Any suggestions or recommendations would help, I’m open to anything!

I took 5.5 years to graduate college with a 2.3 gpa (b.a. economics) at b-grade university. Since then I learned to code Python, machine learning and I’ve been working in big 4 tech for 2 years. Do I have good chance of getting into a school like NYU for masters? Or do I have to aim lower?

Just transferred from IT Audit to Strategy and Transactions. Been a goal of mine for a while so I’m happy to see it play out. Not posting just to say I did it, but because I’ve been following this bowl for a while and see people get negative about being pigeon holed. There were tons of transferable skills that I was able to highlight that got a role that’s completely different, so I just don’t want anyone feeling discouraged if they’re hitting walls.
