MBB Supply Chain Team

I'm being aligned into the MBB supply chain team. 

  • I'm curious, does that mean I will only be focusing on this type of project down the road once a specialty is chosen?
  • How's the travel destination look like for supply chain-focused implementation folks? (location, length) Some examples would be great!
  • I'm an international student, do I get to allocate to a project near my home country? How do I increase likelihood of getting this?

Hi there,

It most likely does mean that this would be your primary project type. That said, it's worth confirming with them what the project % split would be (including travel expectations).

It will vary by company, so it's a little tricky to answer. In general though it will likely mean that the majority of the projects that you work on will be based on supply chain challenges. 

That being said, some of the firms allow for more flex between different types of projects than others. It's worth speaking with the recruiting team to see what the expectations of the role will be. 

Good luck!
