Beyond MBB: Consultants on Landing Big 4, Tier 2 and Boutique Offers

Most consulting prep is built around MBB, but the recruiting landscape is much wider. Big 4 advisory practices, tier 2 firms and boutiques each hire differently, from how heavily the case is weighted to how much your industry or functional background matters. This conversation looks at how consultants who landed offers at those firms approached the process. Hearing from more than one person shows how much the path varies by firm type, which a single success story can’t. If you’re deciding where to apply, or wondering whether going beyond MBB means settling, their experiences give you a more grounded way to think it through.
