Ahh that makes sense

Many people have done it. Network, get a referral. Also, yes cases are still required.

Yes you need to case

Following! Looking to make the same transition over the next year

What are the levels at MBB?

Depends on the firm. McKinsey has analysts, associate, engagement manager, associate principal, partner. Each level is ~2-3 years. Also analysts skip associate level and go straight to manager

Hi! I am seeking for an advise, anything helps! I applied to Accenture’s entry level analyst program. I applied a few days ago (I know it’s a bit late, but the application is still open thankfully). Yesterday, I joined a resume workshop w/ an Accenture recruiter. She went through my resume and said that I have a strong one! I’ve also set up a coffee chat w/ her next week. Unfortunately, I got an email today from the system, they decided not to move forward :( Should I reach out to her abt this?

Hello everyone !

My first 3 months will be training for my position but I will be paid the same. The job hasn’t offered me a dollar amount yet and I want to be best prepared.
