Bain & Company Would anyone be able to refer me to a Entry level position at MBB (McKinsey & Company ,Bain & Company ,Boston Consulting Group) I'm currently getting a master's in accounting. It is a reputable program that is #3 in the nation. I have a good GPA and big 4 experience. Along with full time offers from Deloitte for Transfer pricing consultant and audit. I will finish my masters in May. It's hard to get a foot in the door at MBB in my state unless you go to Booth. So I really appreciate the help!

Doubtful - masters in accounting doesn’t really help you get into consulting, let alone at an MBB

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but you aren’t getting anywhere close to MBB with a masters of accounting. Big 4 experience doesn’t mean much if it’s audit/advisory.

Your best bet is work a few years in transfer pricing, and then go get an M7 MBA. Outside of that, you can forget MBB and strategy consulting in general.

I really don’t mean to be rude, it’s just the reality.

I’m curious, if you have an accounting background, what about MBB appeals vs. Big 4?

i don’t think having a masters in accounting is necessarily an asset for MBB. you should do some research into what you are signing up for

If you want mgmt consulting your best bet is going to PwC/EY/KPMG. At Deloitte it is nearly impossible to go from Audit >> Consulting though it’s possible to go from Audit >> Advisory. And I think it’s also difficult to make the transition from advisory to consulting as well. If you switch firms to the others they combine advisory/consulting together which makes it a bit easier to get into more MC work.

I moved from audit to strat at D, not easy, but possible!
