Feel like my exposure is only to tech and it’s minutia. World is a bigger place with many industries and many issues to resolve. I currently work 60 hr weeks so bad WLB is what I’m used to. I want more interesting, challenging problems to solve day to day. Not fix a broken internal tool or get measurements.
P.S. I’m a core engineer in the hardware team. Thinking of making a hard switch as an experienced engineer to either McKinsey or Bain Capital.
How do I go about this without an MBA. Anyone currently in MBB, can you guide me? Would just studying Case in point and making a convincing case about strategy and execution of internal projects helped me get hired as an EM or higher? How does this work?

Also you might want to better understand what mbb does before committing to this path. Have you ever worked for any large enterprise other than apple?
You won’t learn these core skills in business school so it’s not necessary to attend. The one advantage of b school though is that they have established recruitment pipelines to consulting firms which can make that path easier.
What position are you trying to get and how comfortable are you at doing powerpoint presentation?
Friends who have made partner at MBB, slogged 60 hour work weeks for at least a decade on top of the travel and politics. I guess, you could make a case that it isnt very different from trying to make VP at FAANG.
On the upside you will have platinum airline status and will rack up travel rewards to take “free” vacations for the week between Christmas and New Years.
Is it for all departments - digital, regular, etc?
Wrong info about hotels - at least at McK, I’ve always been in the nicest hotels in town, flown in business, ate well while traveling.
But I agree that the travel still crushes your soul and destroys your health after the initial novelty and excitement wears off.
