@MYOS1634 Well MBB and IB are two different industries: Consulting and Investment Banking. MBB are the top firms in consulting. Banks of “equivalent prestige” would be Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan- and some top boutiques like Lazard. Analyst positions at other investment banks would probably be considered less prestigious than a Business Analyst gig at MBB (save for special positions and things along the lines of that). This is what I have heard from family and friends who work in financial services and consultanting-oriented students at my university. The general advice I have heard for MBB is 3.5+ GPA from a target school with good experiences in order to secure a first-round interview.
