Hi everyone,
I am currently working at one of the Big 4s within their data advisory / consulting practice and am looking to get into management consulting. I've been here since I finished my undergrad and have been fortunate enough to be promoted to senior associate / consultant in just under the 2 years that I started FT work. Although I work in data, I am very much a generalist (I can code but only to a basic level) and a lot of my work to date has focused on data strategy.
I've been thinking of making the switch to an MBB (as an associate consultant). Unfortunately I applied to 2/3 Big 3s without really doing any prep in Q3 of last year and was rejected by both at CV screening / online assessment.
I'm planning to apply to the MBB I've yet to soon, but am aware they have a ban period and am hoping to maximise my chances by seeing if there are any pieces of advice I can take away from this forum. What are my chances as a <25 yo with 2 years of experience at a Big 4?
If I were to be rejected again, what would my options look like? I am considering a move to a Tier 2 consulting firm or doing an MBA as of now.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Regarding your last point, this is not true. If the interview experience was close to the offer, candidates often get a 2nd chance within 4-6 months after the interview. Cheers, Florian
It’s obviously not wrong since you write the same - but I agree with your refinement. So thanks for pointing it out :) Not sure though how this works across MBB firms
