AMA: Breaking into MBB - Nailing the Recruiting Process and Case Interviews

Recruiting for MBB consulting? Join this session as we discuss what you can do to set yourself apart to secure an interview, and eventually nail those interviews. Having just gone through the MBA consulting recruiting process at Chicago Booth last fall, securing offers from Bain, BCG, and McKinsey, I’ll give you the latest tips and tricks on how to bring out your best self and maintain composure during the intense recruiting process and case interviews. This session is designed for anyone trying to pivot into consulting, including MBA candidates, career switchers, and undergraduate students. I’ll tailor which topics we cover to the specific questions you all have, but below are key topics I’ll come ready to discuss. We'll discuss the following best practices that apply to anyone recruiting for consulting: -How often to practice casing, who to practice with, and how to practice (which frameworks to learn, case logs, etc.) -Simulating case day, such as preparing for interviewers who try to throw you off -Nailing pre-interview assessments (McKinsey Solve, Bain TestGorilla, BCG Casey, etc.) -How to prepare for the behavioral interview (what stories to come prepared with, having a great answer for “why this consulting firm”, etc.) -Resume tips For current MBA candidates, we'll discuss how to navigate the on-campus recruiting process, including: -Making a good first impression as you meet firm reps on campus -How to reach out for coffee chats and who to reach out to -Best practices during those coffee chats -Nailing your 15- and 60-second intro and your “why consulting” -Best practices at invite-only events -How to prepare for practice cases with MBB reps (Bain loves to do these) Feel free to come with questions and RSVP to secure your spot!
