From 10 rejections to 1 dream investment banking internship
“... I believe it was the single biggest reason why I ended up with an offer...”
Upgrading to T2 would not be a non-negligible improvement in my opinion. Oliver Wyman, LEK, S&, EYP, Kearney, Roland Berger.
Congrats on Roland Berger!
Haha fair enough I’d maybe take RB off that list. I forget that they’re not as big in the US as they are in Europe (I’m not RB btw)
I’d add Accenture Strategy to that list they compete direclty with MBB, great pay compared to big 4 and good tech edge
similar question here, incoming Capital One BA intern
mainly looking to exit into PE Ops/Financial Services/Airlines/Entertainment
not really thinking of MBA
Honestly any T2 is great
i think mainly Altman Solon and EYP SSG group would be worth it, not many other T2 firms are much better than Deloitte Strategy for tech exits, and also, HR will be really confused if you re-recruit so you'd have to do unnecessary networking. also, both Altman Solon and EYP SSG seem less stable than Deloitte Strategy, i think EYP still pushed offers to later start date for co25.
Altman Solon seems like a disaster but maybe worth it?
