Based on previous WSO threads, transitioning from a PhD to MBB (McKinsey, BCG, Bain) is definitely possible, especially if you are coming from a top university. Here are some key points to consider:
Opportunities for PhDs in MBB:
Application Process:
Challenges and Considerations:
Support and Resources:
Personal Experiences:
In summary, with a PhD from a top university in the DACH region, you have a strong foundation to pursue opportunities at MBB. Focus on presenting your profile effectively, leveraging available resources, and preparing thoroughly for the application process.

Yes, MBB do recruit PhDs, especially in Europe. Coming from a good university will definitely be a big help.
Now, do note that business was not great last year (though it's picking up this year), so recruitment may still be a bit slower than usual. I recommend doing all the research you can on MBB and strategy consulting before applying.
For context, I'm at Bain, and I have a PhD, but I'm based in the UK. I do know a little about the German recruiting for Bain, but not much about McK / BCG. Happy to review your CV too, if helpful.

Hey there,
Two questions from me to understand what you're after:
