Intro: I am a 31 yo Caucasian Manager in our Marketing & Sales Practice at ACN making ~$170k a year + bonuses. 700 GMAT (bad quant, killer verbal). 5 years at ACN; 5 years at a boutique consulting firm before that I applied to a few MBA programs...

Now that the MBBs are open for Summer 2022 internships, I thought I'd make a thread so everyone's up to date. Does anyone know whether applying for the summer deadline rather than the fall puts applicants at some sort of advantage?

Easier Finance Jobs/Exiting Finance for Better Quality of Life
After only a few years at a consulting firm, with prior experience in banking, I've pretty much concluded that a) I have little interest working long hours or being expected to do so, and b) I may have little to no interest in finance, although that may just be due to the disdain for the lifestyle....
Continue in FAANG Data Science or pursue McK?
Hi all, A little background: I graduated from a top UK target with a degree in stats.

Hi, I'd love to hear some advice from folks familiar with MBB's recruiting processes. I'm currently at a target school on the west coast with a history of sending undergrads to SF MBB offices (particularly Bain). I'm not sure whether this is due to cross-coast recruiting disadvantages or many...

What should I do summer before college freshman year to get into good business clubs and what should I major in
(1) I will be attending Emory University at the Atlanta campus this fall. In high school, I had good grades and a high SAT score, but my extracurriculars were kind of generic, like Quiz Bowl, Model UN, Mock Trial, etc. Also, my school didn't offer any courses related to business or economics. I...

Do MBB Employees Really Work That Much Less?
Anecdotally, the kids from my school who summered at MBB (BOS/NYC/SF) were working just as much if not more than the IB/PE kids (minimum 12 hour days at least 5 days per week). Pre-COVID, how many hours on average were consultants working?

MBB wannabe to FAANG Software Engineer
While the odds are this post is relegated to the WSO trash heap—to grace the eyes neither of monkey nor MD—on the off chance my story could be helpful to someone in a similar position as I was a year ago, I wanted to share. The moral of the story: if you're better at math than schmoozing or...

"Send us your CV, cover letter and an example of a past project you are proud of," says a consulting job ad. Does that mean send a short description of a project, or send the project itself (like a piece of writing, a slide deck, a website)?

How hard is it to get into non-MBB consulting from a non-target (UCSD)
I'm going to be enrolling in UCSD this fall most likely, and I was wondering how difficult it is to break into non-MBB consulting. Consulting interests me, and while it sounds like MBB has its major benefits, it seems like that's pretty out of the question for a non-target. Also, is there a location...
