How is recruiting for internships and events is different at MBB?

Hi there,

there is no real difference in the selection process. However, there may be fewer slots available for an event when this is reserved for a limited number of people, thus it could be more difficult to manage an invitation there. I heard a few cases of people not invited to selected events but who received invitations for an internship or full-time role.

Dear A,

Actualy, there is no difference, but I think that recruiting events are more competitive than the recruiting for the internship. Because the number of places for event is always very limited.

Hi there,

There's no real difference between MBB events and other company events, other than the fact that your competition is higher and you're evaluated to a higher standard.

That being said, McKinsey is know for being lower touch (i.e. connections/networking matters a bit less), and Bain/BCG higher touch.

Also, if there is an invite-only event, and you have not been invited, please don't show up!

Slightly off-topic (apologies), I also applied for the Virtual Academy program but did not hear from them so far... Does this mean the application was rejected?
