For example, ik Strategy& PwC does a lot of work for KKR and sometimes Blackstone (first-hand experience in their deals team).

Am wondering what is the MBB-equivalent

Experience is if a PE engages T2 it’s just to get a number. Final analysis is MBB. Many times PE firms will have Bain work on a problem then Mck do the same or the other way around. All of it is to compare the numbers or get them the numbers they want

Bain is largest by revenue for sure

Besides a few small instances, each of them prob have a much larger SOW with each MF account than S&. That’s the plain answer.

That’s nothing against strategy&. But there’s an entire segment of the PE engagements that never gets to tier 2s. Not even a look / pitch.

I messed up my interview with Millennium LLP for an entry level role and I feel nothing but dread right now.

How can I accept the fact that I might not be able to start out as successful as I wanted to be? I believe it’s extremely difficult to jump between layers (E.G. Big 4 to MBB) later on in my career.

Do tech companies like FAANG hire strategy consultants? Starting at an MBB/T2 next year and curious if tech companies leverage consultants as much as other industries. Part of me wonders if they are in such high growth right now that consultants can’t add as much value, thus maybe a smaller presence. Thoughts?

Hey guys, need some advice. I was fortunate enough to get the Consortium fellowship at Ross but am also stuck on the CBS waitlist and am still planning to apply to Wharton in R3.

For context, I want to get into product management at FAANG/fintech with pursuing MBB as a plan B. Thanks in advance!

My firm typically does insurance defense, but we take plaintiffs cases here and there.
