I'm at McK with a PhD. You could argue MBB is just long shots in general but MB is by far the most interested in PhD backgrounds barring technical consulting firms like Exponent or life sciences like Clearview

Additional Posts in PhD, JD, MD Consultants

Does anyone currently work for a company that’s hiring? If so, would anyone like to throw a referral my way? 😇

JD - graduated in May. I started working for a small firm in March, during my last semester. I stayed with the firm until this month: pay was garbage, and supervisor started treating me poorly when they found out I was interviewing for other firms.

I’ve been applying and interviewing for months. I hate to say that I am desperate, but any advise would be desperately appreciated ☺️
