Is the new Caracas office for McKinsey my best chance to join MBB?

I want to exit to MBB but if that’s not a possibility what are the next best consulting firms? Looking for at least midsize firms (non-boutiques).

Best resource for creating an MBB caliber resume?

MBB folks, how many hours do y'all typically clock in a work week? Weekend hours? (If any)

Hi - I am having to move from the US to London due to Visa issues. Exploring relevant strategy consulting roles @ MBB / T2s following 3Y of management consulting focused on operations @ a boutique firm in NYC. What is the best way to get started with this ? Any good recruiters you would recommend ? Or referrals? Happy to share my profile. PS - I have UK work auth so won’t require sponsorship.

Does Lebanese diaspora really command more power in the MBB and T2 in the region? How can others navigate a career here?

Looking for case partners for upcoming MBB interviews. Currently working in consulting so ideally late (9:30ET or later) most workdays/weekends are open.

MBB folks, I’m a Product Manager (non-tech company) and interested in working at MBB.

Which level/role does MBB can offer me ?

Do tech companies like FAANG hire strategy consultants? Starting at an MBB/T2 next year and curious if tech companies leverage consultants as much as other industries. Part of me wonders if they are in such high growth right now that consultants can’t add as much value, thus maybe a smaller presence. Thoughts?

How common is it to get a decent-sized merit scholarship from M7? I’m coming from MBB but not sure I want to commit myself to returning after I get my MBA and also don’t want to have to take out a bunch of loans.
(3.97 from T15 undergrad and 760 GMAT if that helps)

What does the salary progression at MBB look like after getting your MBA from a target school?

What is typical signing bonus offered by MBB if you are recruited as an experienced hire into their Manager or Senior Manager level (coming from Big 4)? For core strategy practice, not niche areas.

Heard that partners at MBB that focus on public /social sectors (higher education institutions, government, non-profit orgs) get lower salaries than peers. Is that true and by how much?

Anyone here who made the exit from Big 4/MBB consulting to a VC? If so, I’d love to hear about how the experience is so far. (Not to mention the WLB and comp!) I’m considering a career change but have no one in my network I can go to for insights. Thx! 🙏🏾

I am hearing that MBB is pausing majority of the interviews - should I be worried about my offer getting rescinded? I luckily got my offer a few months ago and received my signing bonus already.

Negotiating an offer with MBB. How should I negotiate for unvested RSUs? I have about $400K with a vesting schedule over the next 3.5 years. Thank you!

Anyone have success cold applying for VC roles and not in MBB? Just submitted an app last week and they should be reaching out this week, but I’m not sure how long to wait before giving up…

Looking to get a referral for MBB, can any fishies help?

Any strategy groups or MBB folks hiring? 3 years experience out of undergrad across multiple industries/functions. Looking mainly to learn about diff experiences and any potential opps (if applicable)

Is a move to PE from MBB worth it?

Anyone at MBB looking to make a referral?

Hi All,

Recently got the opportunity to "grow our ESG/CSR" practice at a small regional consulting firm, due to my recent grad certification in sustainable strategy. Wondering where I should focus us as a services industry for big impact - we have a large product innovation, engineering area, and know in the past we've had a lot of lip service to clients and only recorded ESG for their compliance.

Hoping to make a big difference and include CSR/Sust audits for our client projects! Any tips?

I joined IBM around year ago.
i have 9 YOE and i was given band 7A saying its lead role.
However in project i was treated as team member l. Initially i was okay as i thought i will be familiar with environment and later will take more responsibility.
But then they gave me release after few months.
No hike also this year.
Future also seems unclear as i feel low self-esteem seeing collegues my experience earning well and having better roles.
I really think joining IBM was wrong decision.

Want to buy a 60k sports car, have the cash to buy it outright but have been leaning towards putting $30k down and financing the rest over 3 years to keep the remaining cash liquid. Logically I know paying for the car in cash and avoiding interest is the best move but I believe why not leverage the situation?

How long does it take for bonuses to be paid out after your performance outcome has been communicated at other firms?

Our comp system is slightly complex so we know promotions Dec-Jan while bonuses are paid out late Feb-Early March (aka 2-3 months)

Edit: Performance year ends in September (so total process is 5-6 months)
