We should be Hufflepuff, only because we’re happy to be included.

Literally came here to say how are we not Hufflepuff. Glad to know I’m in good company with my fellow Boozers.

Because you guys are creeping me out when we meet at the client site. Always in groups of the whole team, in suits that cost as much as my car and just very serious. Gives me shivers.

Alix is 100% slytherin. You think gryffindors come in and lay people off in forms bearing bankruptcy?
(Not meant to be a swipe at Alix - someone has to do the work. But I don’t think it’s gryffindors)

By that logic no one is a slytherin…

smart

Because we are smart AND nice, yes?

Yes

And which of those would you classify as muggles?

That’s some derogatory stuff right there

What type of stories do MBB consultants who want to continue their career in their company tell in their applications? Im going to apply next year but Im not sure how interesting my application can be. I dont have time to do much asides from work and in the future I'd like to work in PE (have worked in many projects in this practice) which is pretty cliché.
Can any MBB folk share examples of their general story?

Kinda amazed how job market froze so quickly. I remember seeing B4 audit seniors getting into B4 FDD so easy till like 9 months ago. And then it was still easy to get into MM and now it's hard to get anywhere. You gotta seize the opportunity when you see it.

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
