Looking to break into MBB. Have 2 friends at one of the firms that can both provide a referral. Should I first try to get in touch with a recruiter and/or someone in my desired practice using LinkedIn? Will this be more valuable than applying online w/ 2 referrals?

Why are you trying to break into MBB? It’s truly not as prestigious as it used to be. Consulting is going down

likefunny

MBB might not be as prestigious as it used to be but it’s still fair-highly reputable. As for consulting, it’s slow now but it’s definitely not going down

1. Are your friends at your office of choice?
2. Is that office hiring?
3. Are they at or above the level you are intending to apply?

If answer to all the above is yes apply away. If no then probably best to ask them to introduce you to someone at your preferred office

Also just FYI MBB is slowing down lateral hiring at least in US

Trying to go from C (about to be promoted to SC) to SC-equiv at MBB. Do you think the door is shut for me at the moment in terms of hiring?

If it’s the same firm you only get one referral fyi

basically the second one won’t matter in the system if it’s the same firm

Need some advice: Last year I left consulting to take a job in industry (a pay cut, but more freedom, WLB). Due to covid I switched to yet another company (same industry). It’s been half a year at the new place and I absolutely hate it. Not the work, but the company genuinely sucks. Considering a) mba for next fall (just as a reset) or b) job hopping yet again. I’m so demoralized that the past two industry jobs have gone so badly. I’m starting to regret not just staying in consulting...
