McKinsey & Company Is there more competition when you are applying to McKinsey & Company or Boston Consulting Group for an intern position in management consulting or when you are applying as an experienced consultant? Asking cause I got rejected 2 years ago on the case study interview stage for these two as an intern and I am thinking about reapplying next year already as a consultant.

Yeah in terms of difficulty (typically) intern (is more difficult than)>full time undergrad>experienced hire>MBA admit. These days since there has been such a big experienced hire push I’d say experienced hire is tangibly “easier” to get by the numbers, but from what I’ve seen the bar is the bar, it’s just an easier bar to clear for someone who’s been working/developed business acumen than a random college kid

I have always heard that it is harder to join as a summer intern than as a full-time consultant. But at the end of the day you just gotta shoot your shot if you wanna switch

I realize I’m not exactly answering your question, but just some words of encouragement: I was rejected by McK 2 times before receiving an offer as an experienced hire. If it’s where you’d like to end up, keep working and you’ll get there eventually

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all.

Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?
