So in a post not so far away, a Bain consultant elaborated on Big 4 in their office as being only KPMG and Deloitte. Not PWC and EY. Can Other Bain's confirm?

What? We don't typically recruit from other Big 4...

What?

^Debatable. We recruit from plenty of non top 7 schools. I went to UNC! I know plenty of UVA, Michigan, UT people as well.

like

^Yup. Apparently they only recruited from K and D Strategy. A little confused about that.

Well, go tell that to the other Bain guy/gal then.

Depends. Keep in mind that if you're a strong candidate and good fit, there's a place for you here.

This is for undergrad hiring, but every year there's a number of recruits that have experience at places like Accenture, EY, Deloitte or Oliver Wyman. They get recruited primarily on basis of their university (i.e. often core target), and not on basis of their work experience. They usually start over in tenure as a fresh grad with no work experience.

Found the post. That's probably just for that person's office in terms of where he's seen folks lateral from (note - this is fairly atypical).
Everyone still considers Big 4 to include pwc and ey.

^ You are proactive sir/ma'am 👌🏾👍🏿🙌🏾👏🏿

The person later clarified that they were in Northern Europe. You are probably in the US.

^ I'm Northern Europe as well and we do have a few hires from EY and PwC. Seems to be an office specific quirk or statistical outlier

Seems that MBB and Boutique hire from top 7 universities first, (high GPA/test score) and if you have exp from big 4 that's ok. Then they hire experienced folks that otherwise would have fit into the top 7 university recruiting cycle but didn't apply or get selected from school, (huge GPA/Test) and if they're big 4 ok. And sometimes a one off school with exceptional GPA and Test score, and if Big 4 that's ok. Point is they don't target/poach Big 4, they simply won't exclude Big 4 if the candidate meets their focused criteria

...though to be fair probably 1/3 of my associate colleagues are Harvard/Yale/Stanford

K1, where the he'll did you get that from?? 😂 Too many of my friends are not too 7 but are Bain and BCG.

*top 7

Not saying they won't, just saying it's a deductive approach to manage the high volume of exceptionally high caliber candidates. 2 buckets - 1. University hire. 2. Exp hire. Both use same approach. Start at univ brands, then at metrics, then off brands with strong metrics, and with room to hire only 1% of applicants, Big 4 is not a driver

I started at a new firm this year in January. I had a billable goal that was given to me mid year of around 1750 house for the year. I am nowhere near that and definitely will not meet the goal. I had so many non billable hours I was forced to take when I first came in. I worked my ass off in busy season. At my previous firm I never fell short of hours as it was B4. This firm is mid sized and more focused on WLB. My question is how bad do you think this will affect my comp??
