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
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?
Rising Star
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.
