Bain & Company My 13 YO is taking Career and Tech. She is dead set on diving for Michigan. What are her chances of getting hired from MBB with a degree from UM? Or would she need her MBA first? Is a Michigan degree good enough to get you into a top MBA program?

Alternative perspective: you should not be lining your kid up for MBB as a 13 year old….

A 13 year old doesn’t need to be thinking about this just do well in school, hav fun, and try to get into a good college aka Michigan

applaud you for encouraging (yet not forcing) this as many people give the typical, “their young, don’t worry about it”. When in reality, it takes a lot planning and certainly helps down the line if your well versed in the different career paths. Plus, it’s nice to talk about career stuff when someone is listening and has your best interest in mind like mom! Very possible to have fun and still research/explore!

I thought this post was satire until i read the comments

Yes but recruitment is heavier on the Chicago/Midwest side, so there might be a geo limitation / preference in some cases

If she's talking technology, why are you pointing her at MBB?

JFC bro

13? You're too late to the game. I started grooming my daughter for McKinsey when she was brought back home from the hospital.

She's almost 2yo now and can play the senior partner role really well - she's likeable, talks nonsense, super moody, if she shits her pants it's my problem, etc.

Lots of umich grads at McKinsey. EDIT: wait what? Kid is 13!? You are going to psychologically damage them by trying to plan their path like this. Lay off the kid and let them have fun.

Dude are you for real? SMH! She’s 13, give her a fu**** break and let her decide what she wants to do when she’s old enough.

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?
