Breaking into MBB is highly competitive—and understanding what firms truly look for can give you a major edge. This session is designed to unpack the skills, traits, and experiences that McKinsey, Bain, and BCG value most in candidates. In this event, you’ll learn how top firms evaluate resumes, interviews, and case performance, what differentiates strong candidates from standout ones, and how to position your background strategically. We’ll also cover common misconceptions and mistakes that can hold applicants back. Whether you’re early in your consulting journey or preparing for interviews, you’ll leave with clear insights and a stronger strategy.
