Feedback on chances to get in MBB or other top tier consulting companies

Question

Dear Preplounge Coaches,

I'm feeling frustrated because I've sent my applications everywhere, not just to MBB, yet I keep facing rejections, whether after the online assessments or not.

To provide some context, I'm 33 years old and hold a dual PhD in Management Engineering from a top-tier university. I gained international experience during my PhD, working across different continents. However, I lack industrial experience, and it took me several years to complete my BSc and MSc, which I did not finish with outstanding results.

I'm reaching out to see if I still have a chance in this field, as you have more experience and knowledge about the hiring process. What are your recommendations to improve my chances? (if there are)

Thank you for your time.

Best regards.

Hey,

Unfortunately, we don't have enough information to give you a credible answer. We would need to know:

- Country of origin and countries you are applying to (in some countries, local regulations or visas favor national candidates)
- Level/Ranking of your college
- Focus of your expertise

Best,
Tom
