Hi folks,
I'm looking to switch between MBB consulting firms.
It would be great to understand how to mention my current MBB experience on my CV in a manner appealing to other consulting firms.
I imagine limitations such as not mentioning client names, etc.
Any guidance would be useful.
Hello A,

Overall, the key is to present your MBB experience in a way that is relevant, impactful, and transferable to other consulting firms.
Good luck!
Hi there,
Q: It would be great to understand how to mention my current MBB experience on my CV in a manner appealing to other consulting firms. I imagine limitations such as not mentioning client names.
You can refer to the usual confidentiality structure - eg no client names as you mentioned unless it is public knowledge. Given that most likely you cannot add names, you can use the structure “Supported top 3 xxx company to yyy”.

Hi there,
Focus on the work that you did and the impact it had, not on who it was for. Aim to disguise client names in the same way you would do in letters of proposals / pitches in consulting.
Then it might make sense to get feedback from an expert on the CV to make sure it's as polished as possible. Firms are tight these days with their screening - mostly because of the economic situation - so the CV really needs to be distinctive.
Best,
Cristian
Hi there,
Of course, please leave the MBB brand name in there!
In terms of the experiences, you can say things like “Fortune 500 mining company", or “large multinational insurance company”, etc.
It's important to highlight your achievements and the impact of your work while respecting any confidentiality agreements. You can focus on the skills and expertise you've gained without divulging sensitive information.
I read a lot of things, and I thought the way you wrote to make it clear what you wanted to say was very good. I'm impressed, and I'd like to come back again sometime
It's important that they are able to understand on what type of industries, functions and projects types you have experience. So don't state the clients' names, but you can mention the topics above.
@Happy Wheels, You must not reveal any specifics, including the identities of your customers. They need to know what businesses you've worked for, what roles you've filled, and what kinds of projects you've led. Avoid mentioning the client's name, but feel free to discuss the points raised above.
Hello,
You should not mention client names or anything else that might threaten client confidentiality, but instead say things like “a Fortune 500 electronics company” or “a multinational vehicle manufacturer”, etc.
