Your experience in financial modelling and your MSc in Finance can be valuable assets in the consulting industry. It's important to highlight the transferable skills you have gained, such as analytical thinking, problem-solving, and attention to detail. Regarding your GPA, while it is a factor that firms consider, it is not the sole determinant of your suitability for a consulting role. It's important to showcase your skills, achievements, and the impact you have made in your current role. Additionally, networking and obtaining referrals can significantly enhance your chances of securing an interview. I would be happy to provide further guidance and support in your application process.

You are developping analytical skills and that is a position, although consulting firms don't care in particular for the specific financial skills you are getting (i.e., they value, but it's not the same a consulting).

You should network a bit to increase your chances, but the only sure way to know is to actually apply.

P.S. Recruiting is slow, particularly in the UK, and experienced candidates are not a priority.

Hi there,

I don't really know enough without seeing your resume. However, that said, why not try? Get your resume as strong as possible. Network a ton. Apply at the right time. And apply to a bunch of firms (not just MBB). Then, see what happens.

You have nothing to lose other than time!

Hi!

Thanks for sharing your profile. 

First of all, I wouldn't make it the singular target to get into MBB. I'd rather make it about you wanting to enter the industry. Once you achieve that, then you can shift between firms in time. 

If you believe you don't have a great profile, then don't attempt to enter the most competitive firms in one of the world's most competitive offices right from the beginning. Take it step by step. 

Second of all, you can't change much about your profile / experience in the short term. But you can change a lot about how you present your story. I recommend actually get expert help on this. Sharing with you a guide on how to put together your application strategy:

In short, you have a decent profile and stand a change. What will make the difference at the end of the day is how you approach the process.

Good luck!
Cristian
