MBB 2022 FT recruiting
This year MBB is doing a summer round and a fall round deadline for full-time positions for undergrads in the US. I noticed that there is a thread for the summer analysts but not one for full-time. I personally applied for the summer round, because I want to maximize my options before I commit to my full-time (not in consulting) by the end of August. I am sure many of us who applied for the summer deadline are also in the same boat. SO I made this thread and hope to share updates/information. Has anyone heard back from any of the MBB? (like pymetrics, PSG, interview invitations, etc.) Feel free to post your status.
Got Mckinsey imbellus after sending application for Business Analyst FT role, haven't heard back yet
Actually same. And I scheduled the time on the last day of the given period. I guess they won't start interviewing before we complete/pass the game. Hopefully it would be a fun game too lol.
Completed it about 5 days ago but still haven't heard back
Received just now. Is this game important？or just for fun？
It is definitely important! It is said to be used in evaluating the applicant's profile. But I am not sure to what extend.
I didn't do well on ibellus. Forgot to build the chain of animals. Didn't read the tutorials and never saved the middle of the map from the predators. I completed it in 20 minutes I think but was invited to the interview. Target school tho. Who knows what it really measures.
Anything from Bain ?
Yes. Just got the first-round email. It's crazy that they are interviewing people on Monday. Things are moving so fast. Does anyone know if they are doing two cases back to back?
What office are you in?
Echoing , which office?
How many cases have y’all done? Got an invite for the west coast for early next week and am just opening up the good old victor Cheng
Got first round SF for bain
oof ok. also applied to sf— does that mean it’s likely not gonna happen for anyone else?
What school?
Is it school dependent or office dependent? I go to a WC target so not sure if it's distributed that way
Brown
First rounds are out for Bain in Chicago as well
Anyone got first rounds for Los Angeles?
Yeah for BCG
Anyone hear anything out of NYC?
Bump on that. Haven't heard anyone or anything about NYC yet. It might be very very competitive this year
yeah i'm sure. at this rate it seems like Bain is aiming to have invites out by the end of the week.. wonder if NYC is gonna be in with that
i got an email from bain recruiter saying that the offices having rolling application reviews over the next few weeks
weeks?? oh boy its gonna be a long month
How many first rounds does each Bain office usually send out?
Numbers-wise I know SF's AC class was 15/20. Given that, I'd say anywhere from 80-100 first rounds? Totally guessing there though. Majority come from targets.
Really? This seems terribly small - is SF a smaller office? I'm unfamiliar
Keeping my eye out on the dot -- seems like a lot of interview invites so far were sent at 5PM PT or Noon PT
Boston BCG has sent out invites for Interns
Anyone interviewing for Bain that wants to practice cases?
Would be down
PM me
Got first round for Bain
BCG reject
Same, had a referral too :(
Oh well lol
i also had a referral lmao
same :( had referrals & go to a top 20 LA office
I got... waitlisted for BCG interviews? Is this what all rejects get told or is this actually meaningfully different lol
Also, it seems like I got this email from the Chicago office -- could I get an interview offer from another BCG office still or am I locked into the Chicago office, waitlist or not?
I just got rejected and there was no mention of waitlist so its probably not something they tell to everyone. So congrats lol? either way, good luck with the rest of your recruiting season.
Maybe talk to any BCG connections you have and ask them. But yeah congrats! You still have a good chance.
I was waitlisted last year for internship and didnt get off, think it’s usually rare for people to opt out of interviewing with BCG unfortunately. Good luck!
where are you at now? trying to keep hopes high hahahah
On the flip side, I got waitlisted for the interview, but then got off the waitlist las year! Keep your chin up, you never know! Could be as simple as someone signing with another MBB, going banking, etc. and cancelling the BCG interview!
Worth it to try to reach out to people in an effort to move up the waitlist?
.
I think all offices aside from the East Coast are "behind" in giving decisions -- I applied SF/Seattle and have yet to hear anyone from my school get invites. Would also be down to case!
Hm I have not gotten a rejection email or a first round to BCG. Does anyone know if rejection emails come all at once or in waves?
Seems to depend on the office and the school. I go to UChicago and got a waitlist from the Chicago office today.
any news on Bain Seattle and SF? some people I know (only 2) from my school (non-target) have gotten first round invites for this Monday, but no rejection emails have been sent out. anyone know what's going on?
I'm in the same boat -- applied Seattle/SF from a target school. I'm assuming Bain has two different pipelines for non-target and target schools, of which the former has been already notified. Fingers crossed for some news this week!
Interesting -- could be on an office basis as well. I know people from both targets and non-targets who applied to the west coast offices who have been notified for the first rounds. I come from a non-target so it's likely that I didn't make it past the resume screen since the interview's tomorrow.
Does anyone happen to know if rejection emails have been sent out? Or could it be that some applications are done on a rolling basis?
stanford mck is out for some folks apparently, mostly Seattle/Silicon Valley. not sure if this is the case for other targets
Do you know if this is specifically for Stanford or for the West Coast offices overall?
got an interview for McKinsey, didn't say which office though. I still have to take my imbellus test lol
When did you finish the Imbellus game? And have you gotten your results back before you got the interview?
I haven't taken the test yet. Have to do that today.
Are you at Stanford? asking just because of the previous comment above
No I'm not
Is McK process the same as usual this year - 2 interviews for first round and 4 for final round?
It's four interviews in one combined superday only
wait so are you saying there is no first and second round for mck anymore, just one superday?
When is your interview?
I think it is office/may be school dependent. I got 2 for the 1st round and 2 for the 2nd round. I've heard in Chicago they do 4 and done in a single round for my school.
Do you know when the interviews are? Just curious how soon they will be
anyone hear back from bain 1st round?
yeah SF/Seattle is out, but so are rejections so I wouldn't trip if you've heard nothing
edit: sorry misread this meant first round invites are out not first round decisions
Whens final round? Curious on the turnaround
Anyone heard back for Bain final round yet ?
When did you have yours? Had mine earlier today and haven't heard back yet
Had mine yesterday and haven’t heard back yet.
How were the first and second rounds in difficulty? Were they harder than the cases shown on youtube and the like?
Got final round for bain SF
Whens ur final round? Curious how soon these will pop up if i get one
Mine is for next Monday, so not too bad but less time than what McKinsey gives
Anyone else heard back from McKinsey?
Have you heard back yet? I have not so far...
Anyone else have Bain 1st rounds for Boston/NY yesterday and hear back yet?
I had it yesterday and still have not heard back. But I've also heard that final rounds for NE offices are next week so may not hear back until later this week
good luck!
how do you know final rounds are next week?
Anyone hear back after first round with Bain NE offices?
for anyone else, yes they are out
Semi-target, got first round BCG Dallas invite on July 21. Scheduled for August 13. Have not heard back from McKinsey Dallas or Bain Dallas yet. Anyone have more Dallas info?
just say you go to UTA haha
has anyone not heard back from Bain Seattle/SF for a first round invite?
Anyone hear from McK after having imbellus game due 7/25?
Nah….
nope
Completed Imbellus quickly and heard way before 7/25 about the 1st round invite. It is probably school/office dependent
Got first round in NY office for McK
Do you know if the invite is specific towards target?
Sorry no clue
Same - come from west coast non target
Is your first round 2 or 4 interviews? Mine is 4 interviews and I thought it was the first round, but it said they would try to convey their decision about extending an offer asap after the interview, which makes it seem like there’s only one round.
Yep from my understanding, McK is doing these "power-round" interviews this year, where there is just 1 round consisting of 4 interviews in one day.
Got McKinsey first round in Chicago office. Is there a disadvantage to choosing a later slot for the interview?
Can I ask you when Mck first round came out for chicago? I was guessing it would be by friday since that is roughly two weeks. I haven't heard anything, but I'm also not sure if they send rejection letters like they did with the intern cycle.
Ya it was Friday, but idk if they're done making decisions yet. If you haven't heard anything I don't think it's a rejection per se
Have you heard back since then?
What was your interview like / what are your stats / background? Also know some people at UC who are pretty qualified (high GPA, strong work experience, etc) who haven't gotten interviews yet
Are first round invites for McK Boston out?
Yes like a week or two ago but I've heard they come in waves depending on your school
Are McKinsey Los Angeles invites out ?
Are Mckinsey NY invites out for interviews (FT)?
Yeah but they said they haven’t communicated to everyone yet
Are they out only for full time or internships too?
Has anyone heard back since the "first wave" went out last Friday?
McK Miami FT is out
Anyone hear back from the Bain final round today for SF yet?
How was it?
Hi I had mine yesterday, interested to know if anyones heard back as well
Have you heard back yet?
Has anyone heard back from McKinsey Atlanta?
Nothing yet
Still nothing :/ I'm starting to lose hope.
My school's recruiter said we would hear back by end of week, so if nothing today then I assume it's a no.
are mck SF 1st round invites out?
Can anyone who had a first round at McK or Bain speak to the difficultly level of cases?
Also wondering this
Was honestly not crazy hard, very clearly mostly situated within one of the major buckets, with some critical thinking involved
How much prep did you do? # of cases/other resources?
How much prep did you do? # of cases/other resources?
Honestly by Bain first round was definitely a bit harder than expected. one definitely was unlike anything I've really done. but if you work with the interviewer and show how you think you should be in good shape.
second this, bain 1R was hard
How so? Was it not market entry/m&a/profitability?
First round was hard (I didn't finish the first case) but final round was overall okay. I'll be honest I only started practicing casing the day before the first round and somehow managed to land an offer lmao so have hope everyone.
Offer for Bain ft?
when did you interview? And which offices
Anyone hear back from Bain SF for AC yet after final round? Or did anyone have interviews on tuesday (today)?
Haven't heard back yet
actually, just got an offer lol
interviewed today -- have not heard back yet
Just heard back -- moving on to round 2, go to Stanford but i don't think it's school dependent at this point in the process
Anyone got a McK SF power round but not received a confirmation email yet?
Just received it, never mind!
Just had Bain final round yesterday for NY/Boston, was wondering if anyone else heard back or knew general timeline?
How was case?
I thought was pretty straightforward, was related to partners past exp
Had mine this morning, and didn't even know they were doing them yesterday, I'd assume that they're going to make offers today or tomorrow unless there is a third day I don't know about
sg! were you NY/Boston specific?
