Applying to Mbb and tier 2

Good day everyone, hope you are doing well. I am a finance graduate from USA with 3.7 GPA. I work at big 4 as a consultant riyadh for 8 months now targeting financial projects, and I have previously worked for two years as a consultant in education(ministry of education in dubai,….). I also have 3 months internship remote in finance. I am hopping to apply to tier 2 or MBB. 

1) What are my chances considering referrals from senior consultants there?

2) please please I searched alot and cant find a decent resume showing how my experience should b structured to impress mbb.

If you need any extra information I would gladly share but need a real idea of if I apply now high would my probability be

Thank you

Thanks for sharing your background! You’re in a solid position to apply, especially with a referral.

1) Your chances with a referral:
Referrals from senior consultants at MBB or Tier 2 firms can significantly boost your chances of getting an interview. With your Big 4 + government consulting background, plus a solid GPA, you’re a viable candidate, especially if you tailor your story well.

2) Resume advice:
Structure your CV with impact-first bullets using this format:
Action verb + context + specific result (quantified if possible).
Focus on problem-solving, leadership, and client impact. Highlight public sector strategy, data-driven analysis, and any finance-related achievements.

If you'd like, I can help you review or draft a consulting-style resume based on your experience. You're definitely not far off — it’s all about how you frame it.

Best of luck!

Hi,

Good luck with your preparation.

1) Chances are high you receive a referral if you put sufficient effort in this. 

2) Start with listing 

  • your work experiences + function description + major projects
  • study experience + score + most important courses
  • skills (e.g., language, IT) and extracurricular activities

Feel free to contact me, I can review your CV and send good examples.

Hi,

Hard to tell without seeing your exact resume, but it does sound like it would be relevant at least for Tier 2.

In terms of CV template - preplounge has a nice guide already in case you haven't seen it.
