Hi,
Are MBB hiring? As a Mechanical engineering PhD with 7 yrs or work experience what roles would I apply for as a lateral hire?
Best,
K
Hello K,
Yes MBB are hiring and always on lookout for new talents - depending on your geography, economy might be a bit slower but you should apply all the same.
Based on your profile they would typically position you as Consultant / Associate (Post-MBA role). Depending on the relevancy of the experience and with a bit of luck, they might look at EM/PL roles.
Best of success! Cheers
K,
Yes, they are, though at lower levels than 2-3 years ago.
Some offices are on a temporary freeze. To figure out whether your target one is also affected, then get in touch with the recruiter.
In terms of the role, also discuss this with the recruiter. As an experienced hire, they can also guide you as to whether you'd be a better fit for a generalist or specialist role.
You can use this framework as a roadmap for your application strategy:

You should apply to a Consultant/Associate (post-MBA role)
Hi there,
1) Are MBB hiring?
In general, yes. Hiring depends on the office, so if you want to share which one you are targeting you can get more specific answers for that.
2) As a Mechanical engineering PhD with 7 yrs or work experience what roles would I apply for as a lateral hire?
If you don’t have consulting experience, they normally won’t let you join as a Manager and ask to start in a post-MBA role (Associate at McKinsey, Consultant at BCG/Bain). However, they could offer a fast-track to manager/recognize some years of seniority.
Good luck!
