Bain & Company What is the toughest challenge for a Consultant to transition from big 4 to MBB consulting? I was fortunate enough to get an MBB offer as an experienced Consultant and want to make sure I hit the ground running. Thanks!

Bain & Company Is it truly easier to get in a smaller MBB office?
Have heard a lot for different opinions on these. The logic is that it’s easier because there is a lot of supply in cities like NY, Chicago and SF, but the counter argument is that the offices with less supply are also way smaller and have a lot less demand.

Come with an open mind, be ready to change your mindset, and don’t assume that what worked at B4 will work here. Ask questions and regular feedback. I would do some strategy / DD work early on, which will accelerate that change in mindset. It’ll be painful hours wise but will help tremendously in the long run.
Thanks!

I was in the same boat. Depends where in big 4 you come from. Eg if it is a strategy team, it is very similar except the work is higher impact, colleagues are smarter and the standards are slightly higher.
