Hiring Situation at MBB in the U.S.

Is the hiring market at McKinsey, Bain, and BCG in the United States getting better? I know that the last two years have been rough with staff cuts and low recruitment, but how does it look now and going into 2025?

Hi there,

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your question:

  • First of all, based on the experience of my coachees, the hiring situation among consulting firms in the US seems to be much better than last year.
  • Moreover, unfortunately, no one can make a clear statement for next year.

You can find more on this topic here: Salaries in the consulting industry.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on your specific situation, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hi there,

It's a very fluid market with a lot of uncertainty, however, the general consensus is that the situation is improving and 2025 is going to be even better.

Cheers,

Florian

Yes, it is improving right now. It is not like it was in 2022-2023, but then again those were years of peak recruiting.
