MBB Undergrad hires per office

Hey there,

I guess no one can give you an exact answer. 

However, there is a simple way to approximate it:

1. Go on Linkedin and search for your target office. See how many people work there
2. Now let's make an assumption on how long people actually stay in consulting, let's say 3 years on average
3. Add some growth rate per year, let's say 10%
4. You get an estimate of how many new joiners there are every year to replenish and support the growth of the office

Cheers,

Florian

One - you shouldn't be worried about the size of the intake - you should worry more about making the cut and ensuring you do your interview well.

Two - intake varies not just by the office size, but also on the attrition and growth. Last year was lower growth, this year is making up for it. A mature office has lower growth - while something like Middle-east has a much higher growth.

Hi there,

This is a pretty broad question and honestly completely depends on the office and the year. For example, this year is a bumper year whereas last year was extremely thin (neither is a good representation of “normal”).

I'd highly recommend you network to understand numbers better, however, in the larger offices you're generally looking at low-to-mid double digits.

Hi,

It varies a lot on the year and applicant cohort (offices generally have some flexibility), and it's also made more complicated by the fact that there are multiple start dates that new hires can join on during the year. I don't think there's readily available data on this, unfortunately, though you could try asking a recruiter.
