It helps you get past filters, but you are still competing against all the other MBBers

It can help. Not a guarantee though.

It will help. Just because more often than not too the hiring managers come from MBB

It helps you get past initial filter but after that it’s on you

Thank you! If the MBB name helps, what differentiates those at MBB who get interviews and those who don’t? (E.g. certain LinkedIn presence, certain HH connections, etc)

Ratings, school pedigree, pre-MBA experience (only for mid career PE ops), sometimes connections if you know senior ppl at the firm.

What would you choose? MBB (Digital practice) or Amazon PMT?

Background: T15 MBA student, 7YoE as Mech engineer, long term goal is to climb ladder in Tech, married and have a 2year old

Situation: I have a MBB and Amazon PMT offer for summer internship that I need to choose. MBB comes with FT offer, Amazon PMT will most likely result in return offer. If I go with MBB, I plan to exit to big Tech in 2-3 years. Y1 TC for both will be quite similar (around 230k).

Thank you in advance!
