- Investment Banking is BrokenI just left IB and went entrepreneurship way, so this is a bit of a rant post and a throwaway account, but felt like I need to share.

- An Honest reflection from my first Summer Analyst role: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly (mainly bad and ugly)I come from a target West Coast school. I say target because being on the West Coast, there are only three name-brand schools you can land a job on at an i-bank on the West Coast. Those name brands from my POV are Stanford, Berkeley, and USC. I go to one of the first two. Hats off to the Moelis...

- Does school pedigree matter after getting the job?I read that firms are considering hiring more and more consultants from different backgrounds and non-target schools.

From what I understand, McKinsey probably hires the least despite being the biggest. Bain has a 50/50 model, and BCG is more in the middle of both, although they too hire more consultants than associates. On a percentage of total hires, I would say Bain >>> BCG > McKinsey
Really?? One McKinsey office (that I'm familiar with) is definitely more bottom-heavy than BCG. Might be an exception? Any McKinsey people with more info?
A friend of mine got into a McKinsey office in the East Coast, and the ratio of the newly hired analysts to associates is about 1 to 3.
pretty sure that ratio-wise BCG has the most MBAs to pre-MBAs, then McKinsey, then Bain. In absolute numbers though... Bain's class is still pretty small given that they are a smaller firm than both BCG and McKinsey
Source: had offers from all 3 MBBs and went to their sell weekends
Bain is "pyramid" structured, BCG is diamond structured, McKinsey is a mix (about 50:50)
