MBB Swag

Am an incoming ACI/SBA/SA at an MBB. Have seen some sick swag before. What does swag typically look like at MBB? Do you get any before the summer itself like after signing? I know this is stupid btw before someone says it. 

 

First of all, congrats! Things may be slightly different given COVID, but hopefully the firms keep to what they've done in the past:

McKinsey: Pretty sure they have a strict policy on no logo on any gear or swag. That said, if you got an offer here, still something to be super excited about!
Bain: I've seen a bunch of branded water bottles and Patagonias (rain jackets and fleeces with logo)
BCG: Similar to Bain, water bottles and fleeces with the logo on them. If I'm not mistaken, they also gave Airpods in the past (could be a misunderstanding though)

You generally receive the "swag" during sell weekend, so I'm guessing if they do plan on giving this stuff, it'll be shipped shortly. 

 

Incoming MBB intern here: They aren't sending swag until the class is finalized. It doesn't make sense for them to send patagonias/branded gear to people who will ultimately work at a different firm. Right now at the sell events they're shipping edible gift baskets and giving Uber Eats/Door Dash gift cards to let you expense lunches during the weekend.

 

Thanks so much! Good thing I'm not working for Mck :) . I hope my "sell weekend" isn't the zoom day we have. 

 

Bain gives interns Patagonia rain jackets and other random shirts/the sort during the summer. Patagonia fleeces are given when you sign a FT offer, whether as a return or a fresh FT offer through recruiting.  Bain also gives varying swag based on office (Boston ACIs got banker bags, Chicago got custom Away bags)
