Seems like MBB is interviewing / hiring more experienced hires than usual right now. Any sense of whether the bar to land a job is lower than usual, or is it the same, just more open positions to fill?

I think it’s the same level of difficulty. I interviewed with MBB (didn’t get the offer) and put in an insane amount of prep

like

Any feedback on why?

The bar is the same

The bar has not changed, but we are hiring more people from industry.

Across which geographies?

A1 what level are you? I feel the same way?

If more people are being hired, how is it possible the bar is not being lowered? Hypothetically, if there were 5 spots with 100 applicants vs. 10 spots with the same 100 applicants, the bar is inherently lowered (i.e., top 10% of candidates make the cut instead of only the top 5%), isn’t it?

Not entirely, the difference is that we have an increase in business and therefor are aiming to hire more people with a diverse background that is not the typical MBA applicant. It doesn’t mean we expect lower performance from them in interviews, the bar to get in is exactly the same, the background requirements are just a bit different.

If anything, based on your view, the bar is higher since the number of eligible applicants is higher.

Currently a big 4 consultant and got an offer from FAANG for a strategy and ops role that would bring my total comp up 60%. I’m really grateful for the offer and really excited, however, I am also interviewing with MBB. It has always been a goal of mine to work for tier 1 strategy firm as I’ve always felt on the outside looking in at big4. I feel like most exit ops from strategy would be S&O industry roles but still can’t get these MBB firms out of my mind. Am I just overthinking this?
