I’d love some advice for getting a job at one of the Big 3. Currently have 5 years of industry experience, 2 at energy operator and 3 in client facing role at data analytics/boutique consulting firm.

A few ex colleagues of mine left recently for tier 2 firms. Are those my only options or is MBB possible? Also considering a MBA with the intention of getting into consulting after.

Thanks!

  • Not likely, but not impossible. If you have strong tech skills you may get some outreach from their data science spinoffs (yay back office!). Given your background, looks like T2. However, MBB is not exactly a prize these days, either in TC or prestige.

    Network your way into MBB. Annoy people who work at the firms and ask them for an intro coffee. Tailor yourself as someone who they will enjoy working with and how you’ll be an asset to their workflows.

    99% of people you DM will ghost you (me included, but I’m also a POS) but you just need 1 referral and then it’s all in your hands. Good luck OP, and don’t DM me but do DM people in your city who work at the firms and see who responds
