T2 to MBB

Question

Hi!

I am currently a Business Analyst at a Tier 2 consulting firm in the U.S., originally from Chile. I’m looking to move back home later this year and want to understand my chances of passing the screening process at MBB offices in Santiago.

I hold both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in business from a semi-target school in the U.S., where I earned a 3.5 GPA in both programs. My firm specializes in digital transformation and operations strategy, and I recently worked on a performance enhancement implementation project for a private equity firm's portfolio company.

I speak four languages and have traveled extensively since a young age, so I don’t have a strong network in Santiago yet. However, I hold Chilean work authorization by birth. I’d love to hear any advice on how to strengthen my application and improve my chances of passing the screening process. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Hello there!

From your overall story, you probably have chances to enter the recruitment process of MBB. The key will be to have a strong CV that highlights your achievements in the proper way and referrals to ensure your CV will actually be evaluated.

I can help you with the above, DM me if a free 15min alignment call would be useful, I’ll be happy to support your transition!

Best,

Mari

Hi there,

It seems you have a strong profile!

Make sure you bring out the highlights in your resume. And if you can, try to get referral, that would give you a better chance to get interviewed.

Answer 3

Hi,

It is definitely possible - I made the switch from T2 to MBB as well.

I think in terms of strengthening your application, what really worked for me was be able to show that I was a strong performing consultant, so either being able to show high impact projects (e.g. while at my T2 i did work on the largest ever commercial project sold in Asia), or strong performance (e.g. fast promotion).

All the best!
