Finding former MBB consultants

Hello all,

I have a few quick questions and I apologize if it's out of place. How can I find former MBB consultants who are currently doing freelance consulting?

Thank you

Hey there,

Did you know that PrepLounge also runs a consultant broker with ex MBB and tier-2 consultants?

https://www.consultingheads.com/de/home-consultant

There are other such companies out there as well. Just google ‘freelance consultant broker or marketplace’

It's more effective than going via Linkedin, boiling the ocean.

Cheers,

Florian

I am also a former MBB consultant doing freelance work right now. 

There are many freelance platforms with former consultants, shouldn't be hard to google them. And then LinkedIn of course.

But there's no centralized way to find them all :)

Hello,

LinkedIn is probably your best bet. I expect a lot of ex-MBB coaches here are also working freelance.

Hi there,

You can find one on my profile page (yes, I am ex-MBB and doing freelance) :)

Other than that, a quick LinkedIn search should suffice!

I also imagine most coaches on here do part-time freelance work…you can filter them by searching on MBB.

Hi!

I recommend using LinkedIn and the directory of your university's alumni.

Hope this helps.

Best,

There is no singular centralized source - however LinkedIn is the best place to start looking. Leverage the variety of search filters at your disposal.
