MBB folks: 10 years of experience in various topic data, M&A, Regulatory reporting, market data, electronic trading etc. No masters and undergrad from a state college. Do I have any chance?

Don’t agree. You do have a chance. You need to do well in the interviews and be willing to start from consultant. You won’t get credit to start as Project Leader.

And agree with the other BCGer up here, age could be a challenge. You need a good story and rationale of why and why now

An MBA recent grad. I signed with MBB last year. However, I have always wanted to do tech PM. I couldn’t find PM job in Fall and just signed MBB offer I have. I recently got an FAANG offer. It’s PM function, hard to break in with consulting experience. I declined the new offer during interview stage and again after they gave me initial offer, but it is coming back with 80k more in annual compensation. It made me so torn!!

Background check question. Had a grad school project on my resume with a company. Project was 8 months work with company and 3 months of prep training. This was considered a volunteer role and I have no W2s or anything associated.

On my BGC I listed the 11 months listed above. My previous resume listed this under my education, so I never had exact dates. Grad school was several years back.

Q1 is this kosher to list 11 months?
Q2 anything I should do to clarify?
Q3 does MBB care about vol?

Curious how other marketing teams like to share resources internally.
