Of the MBBs, why does it seem like McKinsey and Bain hire a decent number of MBAs during FT recruiting, whereas BCG has barely hired any these past 2 years?

Because BCG is smarter than the other two

Because BCG hires more through internship (90%)

This is the answer - McKinsey and BCG take a very similar total number of MBAs - but interns are typically the vast majority

BCG is much more open to lateral hiring at that level than the other two. Bain and McK rely on the MBA pipeline

Lol ok don’t trust everything you read on the internet. During covid there was a lot of lateral hiring but we’ve cut back to historical levels. During that time we did contract some work to previous high performing Principals and Partners who left but had capacity but we’re not regularly contracting a bunch of randos for a bunch of roles. We do hire a decent number of ADCs as we like the diversity in thought. And yes for the past 10 years we have added more ops work, much like McK. Bain has too but to a lesser extant and is still more heavily indexed in PE work. I think the bigger reason for lower FT is because of strong summer recruiting

I am currently a Program Manager at Amazon who used to be an EA. I was really excited to switch job families and get into the PM space, however I feel like I really miss being an EA, and am thinking about going back to the role if I find a good team. Has anyone had experience doing this, and what was your experience like? I’m very conflicted.
