Hi community,

someone knows how / if it works to switch from a high-end strategy boutique which competes directly with MBB to MBB? Has anyone done that? Which level would be the best to start from?

Thanks!

Hey there,

Yes, it is definitely possible.

1. Your profile would become interesting after more than 2 years of tenure with the boutique firm

2. Make sure to start networking with MBB well in advance

3. Tailor your application to a relevant practice or function at the MBBs based on your experience from the boutique. I would assume that your boutique has a good reputation in a specific area that you could leverage

Kind regards,

Florian

Hi there,

It absolutely does! Here's what it takes:

  1. Build up your resume. Progress in through career, demonstrate increased levels of responsibility, get exposed to lots of projects, etc.
  2. Network. Both within the firm and outside the firm. Building your network allows you to leverage contacts to eventually (potentially) get referred.
  3. Be patient + persistent. Time, effort, and a bit of luck is what it takes :)

Good luck!

Hi there,

Sure, it is totally feasible, I personally helped several people with the transition.

In terms of the level, you normally lose 1-2 years of seniority. For example, if you are a manager you will usually join at the level below manager in MBB.

Best,

Francesco
