Post-MBA lateral into consulting

I left for MBB after a year in IB post-MBA. Application process is pretty straightforward; just apply online for the generalist role. They typically don't separate experienced hires out into a separate form and you'll just note it in your application.

Referral is a must have given the high volume of applicants. Just use a classmate of yours you know decently well across the firms. You'll stand a good shot at at least getting an interview given your school level and background.

You'll join as if you just came from your MBA regardless of how long you've worked post-MBA (unless you have consulting experience). Your base pay and bonus will be adjusted higher though than if you came right from school.

To practice casing, leverage your school's case books and the firms' example cases online as well as do mocks with your classmates at the firms. 

Definitely viable and interview process would be the same or similar as OCR. A referral helps you get noticed, but isn't make or break. If you have friends from b school, you could always try to get a call with a recruiter before dropping your resume ("what role should I apply for?"), just for the name recognition.

You'd likely enter at the post-MBA level. You could try to go directly into the manager-level role, but that could be a tough sell, since you're not coming from a consulting firm. Also, the learning/adjustment curve is much easier at an individual contributor level, and you'll easily get promoted once you've established a network.

On a somewhat related note, any thoughts on a Post-MBA lateral into MBB from an industry/corporate role, specifically LDP/FLDP type positions?
