MBB Data analysis: How long to promotion? Whats the average GMAT? How many consultant hirings last month? (Please share your feedback and ideas)

Hey WSO geeks,

I was recently going through the application process at MBB and, when building my profile, tried to take inspiration from other profiles (i.e. what kind of organizations they are in, what schools they go to, etc.). And this was incredibly painful as you have to go manually through each profile individually.

So I decided to instead use my free time and build a website that does this job automatically. I sourced over 5,000 public LinkedIn profiles of MBB consultants in Germany (a big MBB market and yet a little bit smaller than the US, so I thought it's a good start) and then extracted/consolidated all information.

Link: careeriq.work/awards (Not allowed to post links currently, first time loading might take a bit)

Ranging from the awards listed, organization memberships, and school and GMAT scores, I tried to build together an interesting statistics report that aims to answer questions like:

• Is my profile good enough for MBB?
• How can I get inspiration to improve my profile to get an interview invite?
• How is the hiring situation right now?
• How many people are employed on each level, and how much time does it take to get promoted?
• What kind of exit opportunities? (working on that right now but the pool of profiles is obviously much bigger than analysing only the current, active members)

I plan to extend the data points and industries based on actual user feedback going forward, so please do not hesitate to let me know! US MBB, and US Investment Banking are the ones I target next.

I hope this helps somebody and looking forward to hear your thoughts.

Cheers
