Is consulting the most flexible post-MBA career for one that doesn't know what he wants to do?
Now that I have been accepted to an M7 program, class of 2017, I realized it is time to start exploring what career options are there. From the beginning, I know I would use my MBA to do some self reflection and discover what long-term career I want to take (I have learned a lot about my self when I...
Q&A: Non-target undergrad to MBB
Hi all, Been using this site throughout my college career, and it's really helped me out so I think it's time to give back. I love reading success stories on the site, especially non-target ones, so I thought I'd share my own in order to help others who are trying to get jobs, especially you...
How to eat healthy while living in a hotel
I worked as a management consultant for 4 years. For 2 of those years I traveled, living in hotels 4-days a week. In total, I spent over 250 nights in a hotel. There are good and bad aspects to long-term weekly travel, but in this post I am focusing on one of the worst: trying to eat healthy while...
Hong Kong Consulting Salaries? Do they pay global?
Hey guys, title says all. Do MBB and the other big guys pay the same (or very very similar) as their offices in NY? This is for first years out of college. I hear MBB in the Mainland sucks pay-wise. Curious if HK is different.

How Can Partners Get Fired or Bought Out?
I was wondering if and how a partner at a MBB can get fired or bought out. If a bunch of other partners didn't like one partner, could they buy out that partner? And how often do partners get fired or bought out? Thanks.
BB IBD vs MBB Consulting for public sector exit opps?
Hey WSO , Let me preface that I don't want this to get into a leveraged sellout-esque pissing match over which group of professionals has the biggest dick. I have these two paths ahead of me and I want to know which is best for me, given my goals. I don't intend to do either in the long-term. By the...
MBB (specifically McKinsey and Bain) - direct promote without MBA?
Hi guys. Does anyone here know if McKinsey and Bain ever promote their junior team up to the post-MBA level (Associate at McKinsey and Consultant at Bain) without an MBA? Let's say if someone joined the company out of college and wants to work for 4 years before getting an MBA instead of 2 or 3......

Rising UG Senior, Incoming MBB Intern, Should I Apply to HBS 2+2 and GSB Deferred?
I'm interning this summer at MBB as a consultant and have considered applying to the HBS and Stanford deferred admissions programs for a while now. I think I would be a competitive applicant (3.74 cumulative GPA, MBB return ideally, strong on campus leadership and probably strong GMAT) but when I...

McKinsey - Private Equity Practice
Any information on this group? Seems like a large chunk of the work they do is PE due diligence, which should technically be ideal for PE exit opps from a consulting position. But a quick linkedin search doesn't show much, especially when most of their guys are from okay schools and...
The audacity to work on a team
Hello again WSO! A couple weeks ago I posted my story of how I went from non-target to MBB , and while I tried to input this lesson in that post, I realized I did not do a very good job. Today I will be telling you about why it is more impressive, "alpha", and respectable to be a good team member...
Would I have a chance at being competitive for MBB FT?
I'm trying to assess whether it will be realistic to pursue MBB FT next fall. This isn't really an "is it possible" thing because I'm sure it may be, it's more of an opportunity cost/numbers game issue that I'm hoping to figure out. I'll obviously apply and network a bit either way, it's just a...
Consulting or Banking for Venture Capital
I am currently a sophomore at a semi-target with a BB ib internship this summer. Assuming this opens me up to opportunities at elite boutiques and MBB consulting next summer, which do you think could better prepare me for a career in venture capital or growth equity? I would like to enter the...

Hi guys, As the mid-tier of the consulting industry consolidates, can anyone speculate what might be in store for other firms who are left behind by PwC and Deloitte 's moves to provide a full service consulting offering? At a recent networking event with Booz (now Strategy&) employees, one told me...

I am in the recruitment process with KPMG Management...

Private Equity Operating Partners v General Partners
General Partners are the PE guys who make the investment decisions, operating partners are the guys who go into the portfolio companies and make all of the strategic decisions - think KKR Capstone. From my understanding operating partners are often ex MBB (consulting) guys or industry executives,...
Do consulting firms fly you in for interviews if you're far from the target office?
I heard that they'll fly you across a couple of states if they're interested. What I'm wondering is if they'll fly you across the Atlantic as well... Only BCG and Mck have offices in my country but I'd like to have a plan B in case it's possible (I have US citizenship).
Mck PST waiver
I passed the Mck PST a year ago but didn't get through the case interviews . I was thinking of re-applying this coming spring again but was hoping to get a waiver from the PST this time round (owing to both credentials, including solid work experience and 760 gmat score , and the fact that I had...

Junior Internship Dilemma: Offer at 2 of MBB vs top IBD group at GS/MS/JPM
Hi Everyone,
Largest Asia Pacific offices for top consulting firms?
I was wondering whether anyone know where the largest Asia Pacific offices were for MBB , Monitor Deloitte, OW, Strategy&, etc. My guess would be Hong Kong / Singapore? Also, since I only speak English, I'd probably be limited to those two locations anyway, right?
What is each of MBB good at?
What's up. So I'm just wondering, which industries are each of MBB good at?

PhD recruiting for non-MBB firms? And starting positions/levels
I poked around the forums and found some info but some of the info was old(ish) and much of it didn't specify the starting level of PhD consultants. Specifically, I haven't found a lot of information about boutiques or about what's going on with Deloitte after the acquisition of Monitor and PwC...
How could I get an MBB offer from a top 5 MBA b-school?
I plan on going to a top 5 MBA school to get an MBB offer. I'm amazed by the large number of students who get offers from MBB , especially at Kellogg. Is it really easier getting a job there as a top 5 MBA than in undergrad? How could I guarantee myself a position at MBB?

Breaking into MBB?
I am currently a tax intern for a Big 4 firm. I have quickly found that this monotonous work is not for me. I don't go to a target school, but I do have a 3.8 GPA. Although for grad school purposes it's more like a 3.4-3.5 (I transferred from a community college). I am a Junior right now, and have...

Lateral to MBB with ~2 years of experience
Soliciting advice from current MBB consultants: 1) Is there a window of too much experience to lateral to MBB after a couple of years in a finance job? 2) Would an excellent gmat score help? As in, if I had a 750+, does that actually increase chances of getting hired or getting past the screen?

Reapplying to MBB - should I mention that I declined an offer (from another office) in the past?
Hi everyone, I am reapplying to a consulting firm ( MBB ) where I previously declined an offer from another office. Almost 2 years ago I declined the offer because I didn't want to live in that country and I had an offer from another consulting firm in my city of choice. Now, for many strong...
