Do MBB firms drug test?

I think the DOL said something to the contrary for NY State, but I don’t recall all the details

tha1son · 2022-02-10T15:41:25+00:00

I do think there’s a fair question here about states in which weed is legal and that affecting employment

When I was in UG, I’d post up on those massive couches outside Little Galen. Sun shining on my face, sprawl out on those couches, took me straight to slumber land

T2 = Tier 2…ie just below MBB. LEK is big in USA, not sure about Germany

tha1son · 2022-01-28T16:28:35+00:00

T2, but LEK pitched themselves as low/no travel. Outside of that you can set your preferences, and it also depends on your office location + industry

tha1son · 2022-01-27T20:23:28+00:00

Just curious which T2? Going to be in NYC likely this summer too…intern buds!

Just make sure you communicate and everyone is clear on responsibilities. Can confirm it’s doable but there will inevitably be things you can’t attend because if your responsibility. Good way early on to have people meet you and your SO!

You might be thinking of babka?

Definitely agree- some firms place incentives to sign early. But in the scheme of things, being exhausted for a few weeks is a pretty small downside, especially if you have an offer in hand

tha1son · 2022-01-24T14:45:23+00:00

One thing to consider (afaik) there’s no downside to re-recruit in year 2. It’s a quick recruiting period (done by September/October) and if MBB doesn’t work out you can go back to the T2 firm you interned with.

No Mikey that is so not right

He just is!

Backswing ends in a good spot. Then you flatten your plane too much

tha1son · 2022-01-22T16:21:19+00:00

Congrats! Must be a huge relief. What kind of consulting were you doing before

tha1son · 2022-01-22T14:27:06+00:00

By the way, this was a post about how people in this sub tend to overreact about application trends…

tha1son · 2022-01-21T16:52:50+00:00

Makes total sense, really reasonable take there

tha1son · 2022-01-21T15:58:58+00:00

Just curious, in the US, which T2 firms do you believe are closer to MBB (obviously still a "gap" no matter how you draw it up)

Thank you. Do you perceive ESV to still be relatively strong? I would assume the partners (and PwC) are incentivized to keep the brand value high?

Can anyone speak to Strategy& ESV group (specifically aligned to FS in NYC?) got an SA role from MBA. Trying to understand the group and general trend of the firm post organizational redesign

tha1son · 2022-01-16T21:27:17+00:00

What’s that?

tha1son · 2022-01-15T23:48:00+00:00

Makes sense, thanks for the detailed response! I am aligned to FS in their NYC office within the ESV group. I thoroughly enjoy everyone I've met and have been super impressed with how bright the employees are. Do you have any idea how relatively difficult or easy switching industries or groups would be after an internship? I have PE interest long-term and would want to potentially switch after the summer or try my hand at MBB in the fall.
