Hey folks, anybody willing to refer me for consulting position at MBB, Kearney, OW, EYP, S&.

I have more than 2 years of experience in market research firm and have worked in a startup in UK and Germany.

I had passed the CV screening at Bain, LEK and S& London offices last year. I will share the SS for credibility :)

I am happy to have quick chat.

3 years post MBA at MBB. Hoping to exit into tech and just received a S&O offer at a midsize but fast growing company. 330 TC. Thinking about my progression after this- worth 1-2 more years in consulting or will solid tech experience be just as good? Also what does the path normally look like for these S&O roles… do people hop into PM or sales or some other exec type role?

Curious to know if anyone who’s moved from EM/PL/AP MBB role is happy? Moved to an S&O role at Meta and I’m struggling to see much benefit other than better WLB/less pressure. S&O in tech feels second-class citizen (lower influence), work isn’t as meaningful, slower and less clear career growth, slower comp trajectory. Feels like the only worthwhile move is to Product but curious to hear if G is better.

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.

Given the pandemic, would trying to set up lunches with MBB folks be weird?

I’m going to start business school in September and I want to get a feel for some offices and hopefully referrals. If COVID wasn’t a thing, I’d set up a trip, reach out to school alums on LinkedIn, and try to set up a lunch. Should I just try and set up a zoom call instead? If feels less personal, but if that’s the best that can happen, I guess it’s fine.

Looking at Chicago, Denver, and Dalls fwiw.
