Just heard my feedback for my MBB final rounds, got high ratings and partners all said yes to whether they’d put me in front of their client & put me on their case team but still rejected :( (potentially due to really lean number of spots left for the year)

Has anyone else had this happen and reapplied later?

Did you apply through university or are you an experienced hire?

Experienced but on the lower experience end (3 YOE)

Market is slowing - hard time to lateral because MBB has more people on the beach now so you will be competing against incumbents which can be tough

You sure it's from all the partners?

I thought I was in a similar situation for an MBB that rejected me once, but I turned out that one of the partners didn't think my case was strong enough.

Yup, it's very, very hard to get negative feedback from a recruiter at MBB. Very likely that one of those partners dinged your interview. 😔

How did you receive this information

I walked through feedback with my recruiter

Which MBB

It was not vain

This happened to me last year with BCG

Same, happened to me as well

I had a job interview for a role that I really want. The hiring manager scheduled me for an interview and did not show up.

This is a major red flag, but I can’t help but feel that I am missing out since this role pays 50% over what I currently make. Should I let the recruiter know? What’s your take on this?
