Hi team!!
My role currently is an interesting one, as I have a mixture of both engineering but also quantiative development responsibilites (quant). I have 2.5 years of work experience, and with proper networking I can apply entry-level to MBB. Am wondering if my role will be seen as too "technical" for entry-level MBB? I want to plan wisely considering the 2 year cool off period for rejection.
Considering I have little experience interfacing with clients, gathering value propositions, etc, is networking + strong analytics/finance skills enough to get noticed for entry-level MBB?
Even if I do get an interview and excel at the case/PEI portions, could they still reject me after the last round based on my work experience (not because of culture fit, soft skills, etc)?
I know companies like Google and others can still reject a candidate after a series of successful interviews if they feel the person doesn't have a good enough background/or other candidates have better ones.
Unsure if this is the case for MBB, however, in which case I'll need to pursue an MBA to move into MBB, and will be settling on PM roles if I cannot breakthrough.
Thank you for helping me navigate this!
