Finally getting a MBB interview!
Just wanted to share with someone. Finally got an interview at a MBB and I am beyond pumped. My PhD is in hard sciences/engineering from a very small private school that isn't well known other than in engineering. I graduated with my PhD 3 years ago, despite networking and applying multiple times didn't even get past the resume screen at any consulting firm. Started career at a some what well known and large engineering company and have worked there for the last 3 years. Couple of months ago reached out to one of the guys i had cold emailed 3 years ago saying i was still interested. He was somewhat surprised that I didn't get an interview 3 years back. He handed my resume to a recruiter (was told that I didn't need to fill out online application- at the time thought this was the go away answer), recruiter reaches out to me last week saying that if I am still interested they will bring me in for an interview next month. (Will let me know about exact dates in early September)
Before when I couldn't get an interview, I could blame my lowly school. Now that I have a toe in the door I have no excuse to fall back on. Just started my case interviews practice this weekend.
network, network, network.
Congrats on the interview, that's an achievement in and of itself. Good luck and keep us posted!
Update/Question:
My interview is set for November/December time period. And i am interviewing under the "experienced hire" category. Any ideas on how this format would be different or similar to the conventional recruiting cycle?
just ran into this- how'd it end up going for you OP?
