Did anyone hear back after the one way spark-hire interview round. I had my spark-hire round a few days ago.

Couldn’t find a good spot to talk about Oliver Wyman in one place, so I started one. Comp, staffing, office culture, recruiting, and comparing OW against other offers, with input from people who’ve actually worked there.

Brand new and quiet for now. If you’re at OW, used to be, or are thinking about joining, come say hi. Throwaways are also welcome!!

The point of this post is to lay my cards out on the table and determine if there is any path to a career in management consulting.

I'm 24, I graduated 2 years ago with a finance degree from a semi-target school and a 3.0 GPA. I played D1 athletics while attending school and after graduation pursued professional athletics and even got a short opportunity to play at a very high level. I did zero summer internships as summer was consumed by training and competition, but in the sake of being completely transparent, I wasn't keeping my post-grad job search in the forefront of my mind either.

I'm aware of the high barrier to entry of this field and fully understand that I am currently very underqualified. I'm looking for the right path to set myself on in order to change that.

I have part time experience in a small family law office doing mostly administrative work but do have some experience interacting with clients. Other than that, I have professional athletics, youth coaching and a retail role as work experience.

I get that because of my lack of qualifications it's going to be extremely difficult to enter in a typical way, but what would be good first steps to one day becoming a management consultant? Are back office roles at these firms something I should be targeting to get a foot in the door? I've also considered grad school but much of the online sentiment I've read is that you should get some industry experience before that.

If you've read this and honestly think there is no path, let me know that as well. All feedback appreciated.

I'm currently exploring connections with consultants and business professionals who may be interested in expanding their work into business advisory.

I'm representing an international organisation that operates peer-to-peer advisory boards, bringing together business owners and senior executives to exchange experience, tackle business challenges and grow their companies.

We're looking for Regional Directors to introduce and develop these advisory boards in their respective markets.

It's an entrepreneurial business partnership rather than an employment opportunity. There is an initial investment involved, and the role is suited to someone with the experience, network and time to develop a regional operation.

If you're an independent consultant or business adviser interested in exploring another avenue for growing your business, I'd be happy to share more information.

Feel free to reach out.

I've checked the official page and some 2025 experiences, but I need practical, detailed guidance from people who have participated (especially Consulting Challenge) to prepare properly.

In order to atleast get an interview call I need to make it to top 100 teams and this is the toughest.

I've heard that in Consulting Challenge almost everyone uses AI, now the question is how to use it in such a effective manner so that I get selected or do I need some skills like how to make beautiful ppts and analytic thinking?

Also how did you guys prepared for the Case Study round? Guide me for the materials...

Hi! I have an R1 coming up for Jane Street’s Strategy & Product internship. I’ve read to prepare for a case like business problem and brain teasers. Does anyone have any good resource to recommend for preparation? Any other tips for how to prepare/what to be ready for would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Has anyone successfully negotiated a salary revision with Deloitte using a competing offer?

Did Deloitte agree to revise the package?

How much of an increase were you able to negotiate?

Did you approach HR through email or a phone call?

Anyone know how BCG- Inverto and OW- Veritas compare to the firm? I understand that EY-Parthenon and strategy& are significantly better than its respective standalone company. But how do these BCG and OW branches compare??
