How was it?

I think the OW is better for Financial Services, and competes strongly with McKinsey in Europe. OW partners are promoted straight out of undergrad, and make Partner in their mid-thirties. They are then recruited for leadership roles at banks, and are young enough to have an entire second career in the bank because they are only 35.

Those examples dont really support your point of OW being better than McK for Financial Services

Yes, in S&O! It’s a fun company and cool work, though not quite as exciting / dynamic as consulting IMO. Happy to chat offline via dm

Lot of PE firms only hire MBB (not impossible to break into from OW, just not top forms)

Should I renege offer from MBB?

An MBA recent grad. I signed with MBB last year. However, I have always wanted to do tech PM. I couldn’t find PM job in Fall and just signed MBB offer I have. I recently got an FAANG offer. It’s PM function, hard to break in with consulting experience. I declined the new offer during interview stage and again after they gave me initial offer, but it is coming back with 80k more in annual compensation. It made me so torn!! Should I renege MBB offer?

Hiya!

I'm looking at applying to MBB (Preferably BCG) for a summer internship this summer. I'm a first-gen Oxbridge student, and while I have little experience in consulting along the lines of MBB, I did work in the city last summer as an sustainability consultant.

I'm curious how important it is to have a referral etc and what you'd recommend for applications opening in jan. Any advice is super appreciated I don't have any connections to the industry but it's something im interested in.
