MBB isn’t giving out many interview invites to top MBA program students for full time recruiting right now. Why is that? I thought demand for consulting remains high during economic downturns…

Many firms just had their largest class ever just start this past summer on top of associate and consulting interns getting automatic jobs after internships on top of an unsure economy and slow case work at the moment. Wouldn't surprise me if hiring slowed down a lot considerably for the next little while

Consulting does well during periods of change.

Full time recruiting classes are almost always small. They might have been big the last few years but when I started 5 years ago I was one of 2/40 Cs in my office that were full time hires.

North America. One of our largest offices.

Maybe they just don't see the value in inexperienced MBAs and are going towards experienced lateral hires? I just got my MBB offer today, and I was at big4. Tech is frozen, but consulting is very much alive and well at the moment for hiring.

Hmmm that’s unfortunate

We’ve still hired a ton of people this cycle…

Okay that is reassuring. I hope you’re right for MBAs 😭

Virtually no full-time consulting hiring at the MBA level this year. Interns are projected to be steady however

What company?

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

Didn't end up making the cut in Strategy consulting case interviews. Would really like to do strategy / S&O some day. I love using data to inform decision-making.

Wondering if it would make sense to continue consulting in implementation then try to pivot again in the future or at another level - or drop consulting & try to get a strategy job at a startup or maybe do something else at a larger company and try to pivot internally.

Background is tech + MBA. Any insight appreciated!
