This might be a stupid question but... I haven’t been able to get a haircut due to covid restrictions in my city. All are closed and have been for over 2 months, my hair is a disaster and I have 2x mbb interviews coming up. I have 2 options really, shave the head (I’m ok with that) just leave as is and make a joke about it. I’m worried it’s going to look unprofessional the way my hair is now because it’s “unkept”. Am I being worried for no reason?

Do you have to consistently be in the top ~30% of your cohort at an MBB to avoid being CTLed?
Or can you kind of level off at, for example, the engagement manager level and stay?

Those who got into MBB (consulting) with a degree from a non-target school and who are not URM. Do you exist, and how did you make it?

I’m joining MBB soon and about to go shopping for new wardrobe. What should I get? I’m a woman btw. Should I get a lot of button down shirts and suits for Zoom? I’m a budget shopper so will be going to the mall and places like Ann Taylor, Banana republic, HM, etc. No high end things.

Why in the world are there so many south Asian male MBB partners but relatively less east Asian/south Asian female and East Asian male partners?

I have prior experience in working on strategy consulting projects however i do not have a MBA degree. I have an undergrad degree from a Tier 1 college and around 3 yoe in research as well as strategy consulting (I know weird but was exposed to both as a part of job profile).

Hey folks, anybody willing to refer me for consulting position at MBB, Kearney, OW, EYP, S&.

I have more than 2 years of experience in market research firm and have worked in a startup in UK and Germany.

I had passed the CV screening at Bain, LEK and S& London offices last year. I will share the SS for credibility :)

PE ops hours vs MBB?

Is there any area of accounting that does not require such long hours? I left one job because I was sick of working 60+ hour weeks the first 10 days of the month, only to get into the same situation again at another company, even though they said this was not the norm. Both public companies. Suggestions as to other areas of accounting that don’t revolve around this crazy schedule? I love accounting but I want to have a life. My health is suffering from the stress and sedentary lifestyle.
