I think you CV looks pretty strong and you should be able to land interviews depending on the office you plan to apply to. For European offices / London it would likely be more difficult if you require visa sponsorship given the ongoing COVD situation and more conservative hiring plans. There is a big enough candidate pool who will not require the additional hassle of getting a visa.
For Indian offices, I think you should be able to secure an interview quite easily especially if you do some networking in the months coming up to your application.

Hi,
I think you CV looks pretty strong and you should be able to land interviews depending on the office you plan to apply to. For European offices / London it would likely be more difficult if you require visa sponsorship given the ongoing COVD situation and more conservative hiring plans. There is a big enough candidate pool who will not require the additional hassle of getting a visa.

Based on the info - it should be doable to get an interview. To get an offer, that is a whole different game whereby you need to prepare cases and fit questions.
So if you are planning to apply in the coming few weeks, you need to start your case preparations.
Also, most probably, your joining date would be Q1/Q2 2021 (depending on which office you end up applying to)
I hope this helps

Your CV is definitely strong. If you write it in the right format, manage to find a referral and there are no visa issues, you should be able to receive invitations.

Chances of getting an MBB offer are always low. However, I think you stand good odds of getting at least an interview with at least one of them.
Make sure you:
1) Make your resume super sharp
2) Network effectively
3) Start preparing for case interviews yesterday (during fall recruiting you won't have time...it will be chaos)
4) Gain any additional experience (academy, entreprenurship, certifications, etc.) while you can this summer
Good luck!

Dear A,
You have an impressive profile, I think that normally you should be invited for the interviews. But you should be very well prepared in order to fully utilize your chance and convert interview invites into the offers.
The intake in autumn will be smaller than it used to be in the last year, due to the current situation. But there will be still the placements. So, if you make your preparation efficient, you would be good to get an offer at the very end of the process.
For additional help in references, could you, please, share your resume with me.
Good luck,
André
