I can’t believe gems like these exist on RUclips! Do you know if it’s possible to get into an mbb firm as a current student studying architecture and civil engineering at a Target(Cambridge)? Thanks!
Cool, another great video, thanks! One thing to consider about these LinkedIn statistics is that LinkedIn itself might not be equally used all around the world. So some of the country comparisons might be wrong because of that.
Great advice! LinkedIn is a really good way to see what background people have in the field you want to get into, or maybe to find out where alumni from your university ended up, to get some inspiration.
Thanks for the LinkedIn Tips Heinrich Would you consider making a video about how non-business degrees are relevant / valuable in management consulting? Entering the industry straight out of an engineering degree or more lateral movement? Looking forwards to it!
Hi Kevin, yes sounds like a good topic. Indeed, especially the MBB firms do hire a sizeable number of non-business graduates. Stay tuned! Best, Heinrich
This is why you are my favourite thankxx really this is so so helpful 🙏🙏 One more thing can you please make a video for internship opportunity for undergraduates in these firms
Super happy to hear that, thanks! Actually already created a video on this in the past, but will definitely create more in the future - so stay tuned :) Best, Heinrich
Thanks for another great video! Your tips and comments are always great and helped me advance in my career already! Thank you! I have a question regarding work for MBB firms on paths other than traditional consulting. How are paths like expert or knowledge (where you work directly with clients but specialize on some topics) positions perceived later by other companies, MBA Admissions etc?
Hi Jack, main division is client-facing vs. non-client facing. Expert roles can be client-facing (depends on the exact role), knowledge roles are usually not client-facing. Best, Heinrich
Thanks for the advice! I will graduate from my msc in summer 2023 (Marketing at Erasmus University Rotterdam). I did student jobs where i gained experience but did not do an internship. Do you think I will have a chance to get an associate job at McKinsey?
Great Info Heinrich, I am finishing my M.Sc. in mechanical engineering next week and was just wondering how many engineers work at the MBB firms! I was looking into consulting but was hired already by an OEM in Stuttgart starting August. I am thinking about joining consulting after a few years, is that common or do you have any tips on that? Grüsse ausm Ländle!
Hi, thanks for your comment! Yes, joining MBB after some years at an OEM is definitely possible :) Automotive is quite a large sector in consulting, especially in Germany. Will also depend on what exactly you do at the OEM though. Lots of success to you!! Best, Heinrich
This is quite interesting. Thank you for sharing them. I am about to graduate from my bachelor's degree, major in psychology. Is there anybody in your consulting network that came from the same field as mine? What are your thoughts if I possibly enter consulting?
Heinrich, I've seen a recent trend in MBB, That they are hiring more people in Tech for Product Management, UI, UX positions, Would you like to have a take on this matter? LG aus Houston, FVR
Hi Fabian, Yes this is definitely true! Many firms built their own capabilities to support clients in eg. prototyping new product ideas, develop apps and similar tasks. Just part of becoming a full-service provider for consulting-related tasks. Best, Heinrich
Hey ich möchte in Deutschland arbeiten aber mein Deutsch ist leider nicht so gut wie es vorher war! (War 14 Jahre alt wenn ich nach England gezogen bin). Meine Frage ist, wie kann ich "business german" lernen und es zu consulting level bringen.( kann Deutsch einwandfrei verstehen, aber kann mich leider nicht mehr so äußern wie ich möchte)
Hi Aneesa, wenn du solide sprichst und Deutsche bist wird das normalerweise ausreichen. Das Business German wird dann schon schnell dazukommen. Zudem wird auf vielen Projekten auch auf Englisch gearbeitet, zumindest in der schriftlichen Kommunikation. Weiß natürlich nicht genau wie gut du sprichst, aber würde mir da nicht zu viele Sorgen machen. Viel Erfolg!! LG, Heinrich
Hi Mario, yes definitely! Actually do not understand why this would not be possible? As the firm will usually cover all your expenses during the week, I know many consultants that have quite high savings rates. Best, Heinrich
Cambridge University looks good but linguistics not se well represented. Half my degree was German so maybe I should apply there, although would need to improve a lot. Ich habe den like button ganz zerstört! 😃
Hey, Heinrich, I hope you are doing well in Germany. Just a quick question, when you pass your final round in McKinsey how long did you hear back from them?
Hi Jason, might depend a bit on the office, but in Germany it is common to be informed on the same day or latest the day after an interview whether you made it or not. Best, Heinrich
@@FirmLearning Thank you for your reply, Heinrich, as always your content is very helpful. If by any chance, can you make a video about how to prepare for McKinsey Interview from the first round to the last round (partner interview). Danke Heinrich.
glaube er hat nicht beachtet, dass es einige top Leute gibt, die nach dem dualen Studium bei DAX etc. einen top master machen und so zu mckinsey kommen

Good point, fully agree Gregor! Best, Heinrich

Yes Frida, fully agree :) Thank you for watching! Best, Heinrich
And some people still ponder whether LinkedIn or Xing will win the race... ;-) Nice vid
Indeed, LinkedIn clearly winning :) Best, H

Not impossible, but definitely challenging without relevant internships. Maybe still time do do one? Best, H
for some reason I get way different results when it comes to where people work that also make more sense: USA first by far then india then germany
Interesting.. not sure why this is the case to be honest :) Best, Heinrich

Thank you for the video. Would you give us your opinion on what recruiters might think if a university student takes a gap year before graduating?
Hi Adeliz, this will not be a problem if you do relevant things during the gap year :)
This is quite interesting. Thank you for sharing them. I am about to graduate from my bachelor's degree, major in psychology. Is there anybody in your consulting network that came from the same field as mine? What are your thoughts if I possibly enter consulting?
People in consulting come from all sorts fo academic backgrounds so it is certainly possible! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this type of content....
Sure thing hope it is helpful. Thanks for watching Yash! Best, Heinrich

@@FirmLearning hab alles verstanden! Jetzt fühle ich mich besser. Danke!
Ist es schlauer ein duales Studium bei McKinsey zu machen oder lieber zu einer Target Uni wie LSE zu gehen?
I got accepted to Boston University for MS in Management Studies.Will I be able to get into McKinsey and Company?
Could you work in MBB firm without spending between 40-150k ? (honest question , no offense)
Probably depends on where you live and remember that there are outliers
Hi Mario, yes definitely! Actually do not understand why this would not be possible? As the firm will usually cover all your expenses during the week, I know many consultants that have quite high savings rates. Best, Heinrich
@@FirmLearning No, I mean, without spending a fortune in a Msc program in LSE, Harvard, Insead ...etc (thanks for reply :) )

You need a profile that proves you can maximize the sales of addictive drugs.

Kurz gegen die DHBW gehated :D

no front ;) Was "extreme" schreibt ist in jedem Fall richtig, über einen guten Master kann das klappen. LG
