To land a role at MBB (McKinsey, BCG, Bain) in the future, starting early is a great advantage. Based on the most helpful WSO content, here’s a roadmap tailored for you:
1. Focus on Academic Excellence

3. Networking
4. Case Interview Preparation
5. Explore Non-Traditional Paths
6. Motivation and Presentation
7. Long-Term Planning
By starting early, focusing on academics, building a strong resume, and networking effectively, you’ll set yourself up for success in the competitive MBB recruiting process. Good luck!

9th grade?? Enjoy high school my man, you have plenty of time. Beyond that, in true consulting fashion, I have 3 main recs for you:
1. Setup. If you back into it, getting into a good college is the highest ROI thing you have control over right now. To do that, get good grades in hard classes, find leadership opportunities in school activities/clubs/sports, get involved with your local community, but most importantly, do things that genuinely interest you / that you have fun doing. You'll get a lot farther by being enthusiastic and authentic rather than trying to be impressive.
2. Learn. Read daily news or listen to podcasts to build your business acumen and awareness of what's going on in the world. By the time recruiting hits in 6 years, you'll have familiarity with tons of different industries. For starters, I personally like WSJ, the All In podcast, and Harvard Business Review. YouTube is a bottomless pit of interesting stuff too.
3. Explore. Consider that there are a lot more professions and business-related jobs out there than consulting/MBB. Figure out what kind of life you want to live, how much money you want to make vs how much you're willing to work, what kind of people you like to be around, where in the country/world you like to live, what types of problems you like to solve, etc. MBB is a great way to defer that decision while building skills/exposure, but there's an equal benefit to identifying an industry/function early and becoming an expert.
Conventional prep like casing and networking can wait until college. Find a prom date first.
