“... I believe it was the single biggest reason why I ended up with an offer...”
Easy starters: What got you to leave? What will you be doing next?
Lifestyle of crazy hours and constant uncertainty of travel Unclear, taking some time off
What kind of skills do you think you walked a way from this with? Do you feel like if you wanted to start and run your own successful business someday, you would constantly draw on this experience?
Great question - I also want to know the answer to this.
What would you have done differently starting out? Would you do it all over again?
What sorts of things have you seen other people at MBB leave to do?
in for replies.
thanks just spotted this, will add to frontpage now and again later this week
Advice for non-targets trying to get into MBB? Anything you can expand on besides networking and crushing the case?
What do you want to do long term? Corporate? PE? Starting your own business?
Thanks craig_d . Firstly, could you give us a quick rundown of your background and how you arrived at MBB?
Secondly, have you seen any laterals from corporate planning / strategy from, for example, F100 firms? If so, why and if not, why do you think not? Thanks.
Do you ever see entry level consultants at MBB coming out of programs like TFA?
