Is MBB still super hard/equivalently as hard to get an offer, even with all the hiring? Or a bit easier now

It’s much easier to get an interview now (especially with referral) but still hard

Net-net I think it’s easier to get an offer just because it’s easier to get an interview...bar is still very high.

I referred many people that I thought were very strong with relevant consulting experience T2/big4 (and some that weren’t with weaker work xp). Pretty much everyone got an interview (in the past many wouldn’t get interview) but no one got an offer😭= no referral bonus.

The quality of your application and interview performance is much more important than the hiring ebbs and flows barring a complete hiring freeze due to a once in a lifetime pandemic

Bain & Company Is it truly easier to get in a smaller MBB office?

Have heard a lot for different opinions on these. The logic is that it’s easier because there is a lot of supply in cities like NY, Chicago and SF, but the counter argument is that the offices with less supply are also way smaller and have a lot less demand.
