Data strategy consultant at Artefact to MBB chances

Question

Hello everyone,

I've recently got an offer from artefact as a data strategy consultant in Lebanon office. How would such experience enhance my chances in getting an interview at a MBB company.

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Hi there,

First of all, congratulations on the offer from Artefact!

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your question:

First of all, it obviously depends on the actual tasks you will be performing, but generally, the closer a role is to strategy consulting, the more it may help you.
Moreover, I am a bit concerned whether you only accepted the offer as a lever to eventually work at MBB. I would highly advise you to experience working at Artefact for at least 1-2 years before making a decision about applying to MBB (again) – who knows, maybe you’ll like the work a lot and it is more suited to you personally.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on your specific situation, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Answer 2

Hi there,

It depends on many factors:

1. Employment history

Your previous work experience
Your current employer, role, and progression (personally, I don't know the company so I can't really comment on that)

2. Education

University brand and program prestige
GPA

3. Other things

Leadership experience and extracurriculars
Time spent abroad

All the best with the new job!

Cheers,

Florian
