Skills section on resume for MBB
I am putting the finishing touches on my resume for recruiting season, and I am at a bit of a loss as to what to do with the "skills" section on my resume.

MBB Cross Movement
Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone knew what movement between MBB firms was like - and more specifically, thoughts on the following things: 1) Moving from a summer internship at one MBB to another MBB for full time.

Consulting firms pay full MBA tuition
I have heard that consulting firms MBB (big 3) and Booz & Co. currently offer full 100% MBA or masters degree tuition coverage. Is this in fact true even in the current uncertain economic conditions? Do all ask the employee to then continue working 2 years for the company after the MBA is complete...
Partner said he would get me the interview
So an alum of my school today told me that he could ensure that I got into the interviewing process at one of the B's. Now I know the rest is up to me and case prep is going to be big... But my question is--are my resume and CL not really factors at this point? He told me to cite him and another...
I wanted an MBB and all I got was this GS/MS/JP
As my junior SA stint at a top U.S. bank draws to a close, I'm reflecting on where I was in January. At that point, I had a beautiful conditionally-formatted Excel of about 50 applications I had submitted, with preference indexes and all sorts of nerdy input into what I'd choose between the...

Is it possible to go to HBS after 2 years?
How much harder is it to go to business school after 2 years as opposed to three for top schools H/S? What about for Wharton, Kellog, MIT, Columbia? Would it be possible for me?

Post MBA Consuling Salary HELP!
Okay so I've been looking through several posts (both new and old) and I am pretty confused about MBB salaries. Pre MBA is rather consistent; somewhere between 70-85k directly out of undergrad. However, when we tread into Post MBA waters, things appear.. well arbitrary lol. I have heard 90k, 125k,...
Pre or post-MBA: Who has more to prove?
Pretty straightforward question that I think might provoke some interesting discussion. At the top consulting firms, who has more to prove: analysts/associates hired straight out of undergrad, or consultants hired out of business school? (For this discussion, let's consider new hires who neither...

NEED ADVICE - URGENT
Hey everybody, I am in a tough spot and need some advice. I was hired back in November '10 to a big4 advisory practice. For whatever reason, the firm never gave me a confirmed start date (they put onto my onboarding portal 6/6/2011...however it was an arbitrary date). My recruiter told me that I had...
MBB Public Sector

Hi Folks! I was wondering what is the best way to tackle this seemingly innocuous interview question - "Why BCG?" What things should I mention in my answer? Thank you very much!

How long do MBB keep past applications and resumes
How long do McKinsey, Bain, and BCG keep past resumes and applications? I applied several years ago and got through 1 or 2 rounds of each before getting dinged. I'd like to apply again, but I needlessly (and stupidly) embellished my resume the first time around. I'm going to shoot straight this...

MBB Exit opps to Law School?
Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about how MBB for entry-level (undergrads) places into law schools. I can imagine that McKinsey might place higher because it has a higher reputation/emphasis on government work, but I haven't seen a thing on the web about this path. Though it is...
