What are some niche project experiences or proficiencies MBB would value seeing from a Big 4 applicant?

I wouldn’t say anything niche is necessary. My experience is that MBB is looking for large impact, driven primarily by you.

From a subject matter perspective - things that are more nebulous (i.e., where you actually come up with the answer) are better vs. implementation.

That being said, you can get in with great implementation experience.

Hey everyone - I could do with some advice. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I am having a hard time getting interview calls. I am trying to pivot from consulting to the industry and targeting project/program management roles. I have been doing this work for 7+ years now (total YOE 12 years) so certainly have the right skillset. I have tried a couple of referrals too but that didn’t help either. Any advice you guys could provide would be helpful. Thanks!

Is there any realistic way where tipping in the US goes away and we start to be like other countries (e.g. Europe/Asia)? Raise the price of the food, pay servers a fair wage, no tips? Just a dream 😅

I'm guessing no because businesses will fight hard against this (customers subsidize wages) and certain servers benefit from tipping as well.

Only other thing I can think of is if everyone collectively decides not to ever tip again and it forces business to change. Won't happen though.
