I’ve been in consulting for 5+ years and I’m starting at MBB soon. I need tips for an introvert looking to build a brand, network, and eventually get promoted. Really wanting to break out of my shell and make a good impression! McKinsey & Company Boston Consulting Group Bain & Company

Is it possible to talk to any recruiter from MBB, Big4?

Got a MBB offer as a lateral. End goal is FAANG. Friends at MBB say placements out of their firms into FAANG is as rare as anywhere else. Truth to that statement? Don’t think it’s worth the reset if it’s still nearly impossible either way…TIA

What is your opinion on moving from Tier 2 (5 years, strategy consulting) to MBB as manager/senior manager? MBB office (LatAm) reached out looking for experienced consulting manager to join their team

4.5 YOE, at 135K 28 years old. Was thinking about starting to study for my GMAT in September to take the exam in Dec/Jan. If the goal is MBB/FAANG, Am I making too much to make it worth it? Currently do Cyber Security and have an IT background

I'm wondering if anyone moved between MBB firms? Is it at all possible? What was the rationale and impressions?

Is a move to PE from MBB worth it?

I am a recent PhD graduate and looking to get into MBB. Looking for people who can refer me. (I am new on this app, sorry for being straightforward)

Hi energy fish, I’m currently in the process of breaking into the energy industry. My education is in energy engineering but I got sidetracked. Now, what is better as a pivot point for later exits and continued career path in energy: A) joining Guidehouse in the energy team or B) joining a T2 in the energy team or C) joining MBB as a generalist but network my way into energy work? TIA ❤️

Hi Eric, thanks so much for taking the time to do this! I used to be a manager at MBB, recently went to industry and don’t like it. How difficult is it in your view to boomerang back to consulting?

Are there strict GPA cut offs for MBB? I’ve heard 3.8 being thrown around. Could someone verify that?

Are post-MBA exits from MBB actually as good or easy as they’re perceived to be? It seems like everyone is walking out for 15-30% (or more) TC bump, with better WLB at great companies - is it really as easy as just sliding right into places like FAANG and whatnot? Or do folks from MBB also struggle with exit opps and leveling and whatnot?

Hi! Is anyone down to case? I have MBB interviews coming up soon and want to get some practice in. I've interned at MBB and Tier 2 before sol have fairly decent experience with casing. Thanks!

Have a final round with one of the MBB next week, is it enough to reach out and force the other two to accelerate my process? Applied to all three 3-4 months ago but still haven’t heard back from the other two so far.

Why are MBB so particular about B Schools? 😕 Inspite of having a referral from a partner in Bain and relevant experience, wasn't even given an interview opportunity. The only reason I can think of is my B School (just below IIM Indore and along the lines of NITIE, MDI, IIM Shillong) Could there be any other reasons?

Here’s the scenario: I am a marketing manager for company A who has multiple locations. Get a salary, nice bennys etc, it’s even an ESOP. But they like to sneak extra things my way that are their other small companies. They created a larger company where I couldn’t avoid saying, “I need extra compensation for this”. We agreed on $5k for the work. Now they are trying to put it into my usual payroll for their company A, taxed and all. I want 1099. What are your thoughts on this? Much appreciated

What's the protocol for adding internal portal mockups for a client to your portfolio? Is it expected, something that requires asking permission but is still generally OK, or frowned upon?

If I need permission, I have a good rapport with the Corp Comm director and VP so would I contact them on LinkedIn, or is this something that's normally done through the employer?

Folks in NJ - I'm moving out of a tiny 1 bed apartment about 540sq ft or so. Reached out to a few cleaning companies to get it cleaned before moving out.

But have no clue if that's a fair estimate.

Would becoming ceritified to pass meds increase my pay any?
