Real talk: wtf is MBB and why does it walk on water?

Do you always need an MBA to get into MBB?

Are MBB sponsored MBA students expected to return to their home firms for the summer between their two years? I know you're obligated to go back post-MBA, but what about the summer in between?

I exited to FAANG from big4 and part of me is seriously thinking about getting an mba to go to mbb. Does that make any sense?

What is first year MBB partner comp? Was told it is significantly lower than the US. How does the comp change year after year?

If I reschedule a first round with an MBB for a following week, is there any chance of them moving forward with other candidates ahead of me in the interview process?

Anyone here who made the exit from Big 4/MBB consulting to a VC? If so, I’d love to hear about how the experience is so far. (Not to mention the WLB and comp!) I’m considering a career change but have no one in my network I can go to for insights. Thx! 🙏🏾

Feeling pretty scummy helping with recruiting, when I know anybody who joins will make significantly less money for the same hours compared to a peer at MBB

Feel like it’s betraying the trust of candidates

Hi fish! Recently free MC here. Looking for a referral to a Big 4, or MBB

Do you think there will be any changes to the MBB trifecta over the next 5-10 years? Either removals or additions.

WL at Sloan. Any good vibe stories of people getting in after WL to cheer me up?
More in general: what is the chance of getting a R2 interview? Some folks will for sure enter at H/S and maybe make some space for us 🥲

Hiya!

I'm looking at applying to MBB (Preferably BCG) for a summer internship this summer. I'm a first-gen Oxbridge student, and while I have little experience in consulting along the lines of MBB, I did work in the city last summer as an sustainability consultant.

I'm curious how important it is to have a referral etc and what you'd recommend for applications opening in jan. Any advice is super appreciated I don't have any connections to the industry but it's something im interested in. 

Hi ME 🐠s! Would like to know a bit regarding Business Analyst roles in MBB, T2 / B4 firms in UAE.

Would the stated firms consider me for a BA role (lateral hire as an experienced BA)?

New midlevel associate at a big law firm and still ramping up. I’m having a lot of trouble tackling small or discrete tasks that are either administrative in nature or otherwise because I don’t have a full plate and something to focus on. I feel bad stopping in the middle of the day and doing something else (e.g. watching tv)since I’m already not billing many hours, but my brain feels all over the place and think that may be the only solution. Anyone have exp. with this or advice?

OK, so, right now I make a helluva lot, but I think I wanna make a bloody helluva lot because that seems to be what I should do - and what many of you do, as well. So, I wanna know from you super lotters what threshold I need to reach to fill the dark and empty void and be consumed and enveloped in the warm embrace of self-satisfaction and peace of mind. Please depict this value in terms of a recognizable sum, like avg yrly Swiss household expenditure per capita or Lambos.

Instead of targeting a high downpayment for a house, my wife and I are planning to look for a house once we hit HHI >= $250K. We think this will be mid next year. Reason being is want to target a house in the $700K range. Thoughts on the approach?
