Bain BEL 2021 Decisions
Figured it would be helpful to create this as a way for everyone to update each other when/if they receive offers for this summer's program. In 2019, decisions were released May 8th (Wednesday), while last year decisions weren't released until June as a result of COVID. Appreciate everyone's...
Land Acquisitions for Energy Asset Developer vs Analyst Role at Full-Service Real Estate Advisory Consultancy
Hi folks, I am interviewing right now and would like to pick your brains. I'm broadly interested in opportunistic developments, but do not have a strong preference for a particular asset class. I am far along in my candidacy for: 1. A Land Acquisitions/Entitlements Role with an Energy Asset...
Fordham Gabelli vs IU Kelley
I have been admitted to both undergrad b-schools, which one would be the better choice? I got a 13k scholarship from Fordham but I will still need to take out around a 40k loan and I will graduate Kelley debt free. I also believe I will have a much more enjoyable experience at Kelley but which...

Is IU Kelley a Semi-Target or Non-Target
Hi I will be attending the Kelley school of business this fall as a direct admit. I'm wondering if Kelley is a semi-target without the investment banking workshop.

MBB wannabe to FAANG Software Engineer
While the odds are this post is relegated to the WSO trash heap—to grace the eyes neither of monkey nor MD—on the off chance my story could be helpful to someone in a similar position as I was a year ago, I wanted to share. The moral of the story: if you're better at math than schmoozing or...
"Send us your..."
"Send us your CV, cover letter and an example of a past project you are proud of," says a consulting job ad. Does that mean send a short description of a project, or send the project itself (like a piece of writing, a slide deck, a website)?

How hard is it to get into non-MBB consulting from a non-target (UCSD)
I'm going to be enrolling in UCSD this fall most likely, and I was wondering how difficult it is to break into non-MBB consulting. Consulting interests me, and while it sounds like MBB has its major benefits, it seems like that's pretty out of the question for a non-target. Also, is there a location...

Should I get MBB experience before jumping into PE?
I received a VA offer from an MBB company and a junior investment analyst offer from a PE firm (~200M EUR AUM), both in the CEE region, pay is comparable. Since I have only done one internship at a tech-focused boutique IB, would it make sense to first do consulting for 2 years and then try to join...
FTI CHIP Bonuses
I've heard that FTI gives an annual bonus on top of quarterly bonuses. Is this the structure for all groups? I assume that restructuring has this, but would the transactions practice offer this structure?
2021 Spring Consulting Recruiting
Hi all I just want to know if there are any companies doing consulting recruiting right now.
Why do Consultants get drug tested by client, while Bankers don't? (even if it's with similar clients)
Just realized recently that I hear a lot about consultants getting tested on a client-by-client basis. While, I hear nothing about Investment Bankers doing the same. Even though they work with very similar clients. Why is this? Is it cause the simply work with different parts of the business?

Which is less unpromising: IB Ops or Big 4 Consulting in small market?
I know that both options are not really top choice, but as a non–target with very weak background, I'm glad to even have those. So basically I've got offers from two different GS European offices and offer in business consulting at EY. The facts I'm considering: – From what I've already read on...

Are these 'prestigious' jobs like MBB/T2 worth it?
Ive been thinking recently. Based on what I've read from this site or heard from others, Most people who join MBB/T2 end up staying there for 2-5 years, maybe getting an M7 MBA along the way. They sacrifice a lot in their 20's due to the work hours and stress of succeeding at a top school and their...
