I graduated with a Bachelor's from a target university less than a year ago and am now looking to apply for entry-level positions at the top-tier firms. Not sure what the culture is like at MBB concerning getting married early, but I could imagine it would at best be considered odd and at worst as incompatible with the MBB lifestyle. Is there a certain way I should frame my decision?

I'm 24. Should I mention that I'm married?

Hi!
Frankly - this is irrelevant to MBB and not a criterion in any way. Mention it or not - it will not influence any decision, be it whether to invite you for interviews or whether to extend you an offer.
Cheers, Sidi

Agree w/ Sidi - and many people are actually married at that age, depending on their communities (I can think of a number of Mormon friends in particular who have 2 or 3 kids by that time already); they were some of the best consultants in the office. Most every Partner has a family too btw, and these guys travel / work as hard as anyone.

Hi,
MBB does not care about your marriage - pls feel free to say anything you want.
