Very common - especially for Bain, who tend to be more "bottom-heavy" compared to McKinsey and BCG in most markets.

Hi,
MBBs hire undergraduates for their Business Analyst position. I believe this is possibly the best job out of college and the best role in these companies:
+ #BAs hired is always less than #Associates hired. If you're doing a good job, chances of promotion to an Associate are very strong (even without an MBA). This will give you a significant leg up
+ If you want to get an MBA and return, these companies will be happy to sponsor you
+ If you want to try out another job for 1-2 years after being a BA, you have the flexibility to do so and return
These are just the incremental benefits of such a role. There are other general benefits like great exit opportunity, etc which apply to everyone
Hope this helps!

Hi Anonymous,
usually undergrads are the typical targets for analyst positions in MBB. However in some countries you will need a Master to be considered even for analysts position (eg Italy) due to the structure of the education system present.
Hope this helps,

Hi,
That's pretty common. That's how MBB get interns and analysts. That's how they get the people for the bottom of the pyramid. Thus as you can imagine Undergrads is a huge cohort globally. However local offices can differ.

When looking at a consulting org chart, you see few senior partners, more partners, more Principals/AP, more EM/PL still, and tons of consultants and associates. For this pyramid to work, you necessarily need a ton of people at the bottom - especially since half of them won't last two years.
