Hi All,
I wish to join one of the top consulting firms like McKinsey, BCG, B&C etc. I am currently working as a Business Analyst with a work ex of 3 years.
I have started exploring on my own and one thing that came out different were Case Studies interviews and I have started reading and preparing for them.
I will do MBA also post working in one of these firms.
I was hoping if anyone can help me to prepare better or suggest a plan to land a job for a role that aligns with my ambitions.
Thank You

How many of you are considering a shift away from London post-pandemic? Will remote working make it easier to do consulting jobs that are currently London based from outside the city? Will our firms and clients encourage this trend, or block it? The answers will depend on your individual context but I’m interested in how others are thinking about their own situations
