Offer rate for final round at 2nd tier firms

Hi there,

Please don't think about it this way….

Your odds are X%.

That's different to general odds.

The odds of the best horse in a horse race are far higher than the worst horse in a hrose race.

Race your best. Train optimally. Focus on you

Try not to look to your left and right or you'll stumble.

Hi there, 

50% is on the high-end.

I'd rather say 25% at best - meaning 1 in 4 candidates who get to the final round get an offer in MBB. 

Tier 2 and 3 should have similar or just slightly higher rates. At the end of the day, they also receive fewer applications, so there are not as many people to choose from. 

Hope this satisfied your curiosity :)

And if you're currently applying and want to set up a strong application strategy, here's a free guide on how to do it:

This is going to greatly vary by firm, region, office, recruiting cycle, candidate pool, and so on. So any average numbers are going to be too general to be accurate for any given situation. That being said, firms are typically quite judicious about final round candidates, so ~50% odds seems like a fair guess.

Hi there, 

as some other coaches already mentioned, this highly depends on the firm, geography and current hiring situation. 

In general, you should not expect that getting into these firms is more competitive than MBB, especially once you're in the interview process. In the screening, I do see instances where some of the firms you mentioned look more closely for specific experience, hence screening conversion rates can be lower.

Hope this helps.

This varies across firms, offices, seniority level, … and month…

Basically it is not a reliably KPI, because it changes the whole time.
