Hey folks, anybody willing to refer me for consulting position at MBB, Kearney, OW, EYP, S&.

I have more than 2 years of experience in market research firm and have worked in a startup in UK and Germany.

I had passed the CV screening at Bain, LEK and S& London offices last year. I will share the SS for credibility :)

I am happy to have quick chat.

Ragazzi.. how’s the compensation in Italy for MBB 1st year BA/Associate?

Reading the HBS thread has me worried for applying next year. It seems like for an Asian male even a 3.8+ and 750+ with MBB/BB IB/PE experience doesn’t even get an interview? Is the bar even higher than last year?

G’day folks, new in here loving the vibe. I’m a strategy and M&A Manager (Non-top tier) +8 YOE in consulting and a founder with a personal impact, If I get to have an MBB referral for an interview I’d possibly pass out from excitement. Never been more confident to ask for it and chase the dream to join McKinsey, BCG, or Bain please let me know (Happy to share my resume/or get on a chat before you refer me)

Are you supposed to receive a signing bonus for an entry level job at MBB?

We always keep hearing about the bad WLB in MBB, especially BCG. Want to know if it's actually true, or is it an untrue rumor spread by people who couldn't get into these companies.

(Note - I am talking about incremental WLB issues, over and above the issues at Deloitte S&O, Accenture Strategy, etc. as these issues are common in management consulting)

I started a new role about a month ago (exited from T2 consulting) but just got an opportunity to interview with MBB. The resume I sent in is from 3 months back doesn’t reflect this role change. Should I update the firm I’m interviewing with? Or if I get an offer should I explain during the background check process?

Can anyone let me know how easy it is to apply to a consulting firm in Dubai directly coming from London? I am currently working at a T2 strategy firm in London and my partner and I want to relocate in ~1.5 years. My firm does not have an office in Dubai whilst my partners firm does. Is it possible to apply straight (rather than moving laterally in London, waiting a few years then transferring?) interested in MBB views too. (I would have roughly 2.5 YOE by then)

Are consultants at MBB allowed to trade individual stocks? Or are they limited to mutual funds only? For example, can someone at McKinsey buy AAPL?
