Most likely, since you will now have a different profile (new degree). You can generally apply every couple of years anyway, again under the assumption you come back with something new to bring the company.

Note, you will be again considered a fresh graduate, not an experienced hire.

You can definitely reapply. In terms of advantages you would bring - you would likely be hired at the same level as the people straight out of university (analyst/associate), but have 1.5-2 years experience under your belt which should help you with at least some parts of the job.

To maximise your chances of success, In the next 1.5 years, I would recommend:

• Think about your experiences at your current employer and how they relate to skills that MBB is looking for. If you can, try take on roles that are more challenging/have more responsibility, to help you stand out from the rest. Basically, you have to be clear and confident about your own value proposition to the firms
• Try, if possible, to get a referral. Either if you have already some contacts at MBB, otherwise by either attending events (some offices will do events specifically for people currently working) or reaching out directly on linkedin. If you reach out on LinkedIn, you should aim to develop a relationship first before asking for a referral
• Obviously, practice cases in the next year to make sure you are in top form once it comes to interviewing again!

Good luck and don't give up!

Hi,

It really depends on the market. In many countries, people apply with 1-2 years of experience for a BA / SBA roles (McKinsey scale) and they are not the fresh grads. I believe you should check with HR / friends working in the local office.

Best!
