What are valid reasons to switch from Tier 2 to mbb? Valid in terms that they will help me during the interviews?
Personal reason for me would be reputation and client attractiveness. Also more interested in revenue-side consulting compared to mainly doing back office optimization currently. Is the latter one legit to tell in interviews or too harsh about current employer?

I’d be careful. As MBB also does a lot of back office cost optimization strategy.

I would say:
1) exposure to broader type of client challenges
2) opportunity to work with and learn from top talent
3) overall culture sounds like a great fit

The latter reason is pretty solid. Tailor it a bit with better wording and you’re good.

It seems like a valid reason for you, but is it for them 😂😂😂

Why can’t you just say reputation and client attractiveness?

My personal reasons for joining was to be hero under by higher caliber talent that push me to grow, and to be in a better learning environment. I think if you dig a little deeper you’ll find why you yourself want to join. There are so many things the company can offer that if you are just focusing on brand and clients you may not truly understand what you could be getting out of the opportunity. Also think for yourself, if that’s all you’re after it might be a hard slog

You might get laughed at if you try to give the latter reason. MBB firms have been doing more and more cost optimization work in recent years, especially in this economy.

Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?
