Hi there,

MBB definitely look for people with background in medicine, I helped many candidates with that profile (including a dentist). The exact degree they do so depends on the country.

I would start with networking, you can find some tips here:

Good luck!

Hi there,

First of all, it's entirely possible. There were 2 ex-dentists in our office, and MBB is known to hire those with medical degrees.

In terms of your specific channel, you haven't given us enough information! This depends on your country, what level you're at, and what school you're in. Check with your school to see what pathways there are. Additionally, networking is not just a fantastic way to get referrals, but also a great way to learn more about programs/channels!

MBBs do hire people from diverse backgrounds and you would find many consultants with medicine background. However, keep in mind that they will be hiring you for your problem solving skills and the diversity of perspective that you bring in. You may or may not get to use the medical knowledge that you would have  acquired through your education in consulting projects. 

Hello!

I am an architect, also a diverse background, happy to chat about it if you want to. 

Regarding your case, MBBs do hire from medical schools, so i don´t see why not!

Cheers, 

Clara

Hi there,

I‘m a former geologist who recently helped an MD getting into McKinsey. It really makes now difference what you are but what you’re capable of in terms of the skills MBB are looking for. And those skills are found among people from all traits!

If you’re an MD or dentist, I say go for it! Best of luck!

Hello,

MBB certainly hires people with medical backgrounds, both as expert consultants and as generalists. The exact pipeline will depend on your school and geography. If your school hosts MBB for events/info sessions, start going to those and networking. If not, your best bet would be to network to get a referral. 

Hi there, 

Yes, MBBs do target recruiting on post-MDs, but you can also apply directly (instead of waiting to be reached out). You are an attractive candidate for them with this sort of background, so you're very likely to pass the screening phase.

Best,

Cristian
