How many undergraduates does MBB hire each year?
I'm curious how many undergrads are hired by MBB in a year like 2018 or 2019 (so we don't need to consider the effect of corona virus) in the US. The only threads here about that are a decade old and the firms have grown since then.
Not 100% sure, but this is what I estimate the class sizes are per year:
McKinsey: 300 BCG: 250 Bain: 350
Would love to hear thoughts on what the actual numbers are though!
Not far off. Bain hired ~350 last year in North America, ~900 globally.
Why does McK hire less BAs than Bain despite being 3-4x the size? Does Bain not follow the "diamond" model Mck/Bcg uses?
Bain has a Pyramid model and is known to hire large undergrad classes to support that. Class size tends to grow every year along with the firm as a whole as well. Obviously coronavirus might impact hiring this cycle though and reduce it by some %.
Mck/BCG are diamond shaped - i.e. far more MBA hires than UG hires and partners. Bain is more of a pyramid.
EDIT: Looks like ~1k MBA hires for McK https://www.businessbecause.com/news/mba-jobs/6747/bain-bcg-mckinsey-bi… and ~400 MBA hires for Bain https://www.ft.com/content/cd7ec1ae-06a3-11e8-9650-9c0ad2d7c5b5
That's globally though, not in the US :)
Keep in mind that you would have plenty internal promotions from the post-UG to post-MBA level which would not be reflected in post-MBA recruitment stats.
I’d put BCG at >250, probably ~350. here’s the reasoning. 15 SA in my class at MBB, expect 100% return offer rate plus 5 seniors recruiting for FT to get to 20 a FT class. 17 offices in U.S. multiply the two and you get 340.
