<p>I've always heard of the "Big 4" or "Big 5" or "a" Top Consluting firm. </p>
<p>Which ones are they?</p>
<p>Wal Mart, Target, McDonalds and Burger King.</p>
<p>Don’t forget Wendy’s and Tacobell.</p>
<p>Come on guys</p>
<p>mckinsey/bain/boston consulting group are the big 3</p>
<p>check vault’s guide.</p>
<p>The big 4 are accounting firms. They used to be the big 8…later big 5…Arthur Anderson went bye bye because of Enron, and they became the big 4.</p>
<p>The top management consulting firms are McKinsey, BCG, and Bain.</p>

<p>I’m really interested in working for Bain - what are there possibilities. What should one study/major in during college to get a job with Bain? What are there positions for grads just out of college? </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Why don’t you just go to their website, look for vacancies, and see what the requirements are?</p>
<p>If you’re deadset on working at Bains you should try to get a summer internship there if available.</p>
<p>I’ve worked quite a bit with McKinsey. They will hire people from many different majors because their practice covers a lot of different industries. I work in the financial industry, and two of the consultants I worked with graduated in pre-med. There’s a lot of discussion on how valuable an Ivy League education or other top college is on this board, and I am not usually a person who values prestige, but if you want to work for a consulting company like McKinsey, the name brand school is critical along with being one of the top students.</p>
