Hi, What are some of the routes taken by a former MBB (between UG and MBA) after his MBA? I see that IB is a popular one, but any others? And if he entered management, say GE or Sony, what kind of position would he be interviewing for? PS SirBankaLot is rude

I've been poking around here for a while and it seems like people really disparage...

Surprising MBA Study
So this study sheds some light on post-MBA compensation and prestige at the top firms (scroll down for the graphs). Interestingly, it places Booz & Co within a centimeter of MBB in terms of MBA perceptions and hoses Monitor pretty badly which I don't get, (and OW is no where to be found?)...

MBB Sumer Intern vs BB SA
I've read plenty of topics discussing how difficult it is to get a summer consulting internship offer. Many have said it is more difficult than a BB SA postion. Can anyone verify this as true and explain the reasons why?
Got MBB but not others
For internships, I got interviews to the MBBs but because Oliver Wyman, Booz, Monitor, AT Kearney don't recruit here I only applied online. Haven't gotten selected for any of them. Do they just ignore some of the online apps, or do they look for something different from MBB? Oh now that I think...

Interview Question - Over prepping for cases
Say I have an interview in about a month with an MBB for a foreign office (analyst). How likely is it that I will be asked if I am interviewing with other consulting firms, which ones, how far along in the process, etc.? If so, will a "No" hurt me? Will 2nd tier interviews hurt? Is it a better use...

MBB contacts: ask for help with resume?
So I've been in contact for a couple months (email/phone) with a couple of (non-senior) MBB consultants who graduated my college and was thinking of asking them to look over my resume.

Networking without going to target school
So... I'd like to believe I'm a solid candidate for MBB but I can't shake the feeling that without going to Wharton/Harvard/MIT/Tuck/etc or having connections I'll have a hard time getting into MBB . For personal reasons I'd prefer to avoid studying abroad (I'm in Israel) and I've come to the...
