I messed up the calculations in one interview and in the other Interview my structure wasn’t MECE at all. Still got hired. 👌

Just wait..the nice thing about MBB if I remember correctly is they don’t ghost. I tend to be a good judge of interviews but sometimes if the interviewer is good it ends up being pleasant (and misleading) despite the ultimate outcome. Not saying this is the case, just saying try not to dwell, wait and find out.

Remember that there is always Big 4 to fall back to ;)

Good luck OP! My interviews weren’t perfect but I was still presented with an offer. Enjoy your weekend!

Remember if it is meant to be it will happen, life always has a better plan ! 🙂

Hey OP I'm interested in learning more about the interview process at MBB Can I dm you?

I had the exact same experience. Felt great for two hours then starting doubting it. Went on a long, pensive drive that evening.

Got a call the next morning at 6 am from the partner with the good news.

Been through all interviews, recruiter said it's looking good but they would let me know early this week and asked if that works from a timing perspective since they know I was interviewing with someone else also.

Hi all- My SO is currently at a Big4 & was initially preparing for S&O roles at GCP but given the high number of ex MBB consultants hired, they believe its just more competition to get the offer & to eventually get promoted over time.

Instead, they have decided to pursue program manager or cloud consultant roles, which they feel might have a lower barrier to entry from an assessment standpoint. Not sure if the bowl agrees but would like to get your thoughts, thanks!
