Just switch, the career growth is very fast. Even if they down level you all the way to the post-UG level, by the time you’re 30 you’ll be at the post-MBA level, which is right around the average age for post-MBA consultants. The brand carries a lot of weight when it comes to exit opps

Thank you! Hopefully I'd make it through.

Do you currently have an offer / in the process of interviewing with MBB?

Unfortunately no. I'm only thinking of applying next year in order to accumulate more exp. But I've been attending recruitment events.

How much yoe are you willing to sacrifice?

Tbh if possible I would like to start at equivalent of Senior Associate, especially there would already be a lot of people who're younger with higher titles. But I think it is quite common for Big 4 to down-level when transitioning into MBB.

I have an MSN with a focus in informatics. Recently got my board certification. 3.5 years experience as a nurse. 8 years total in healthcare. Becoming very frustrated with my organization and the slowness of our analysts in getting anything resolved. Feeling like I’m at a dead end and thinking about switching routes entirely. Just wanting others to share salary and location and maybe give me a little hope that you have a better team where you’re at that actually get things accomplished.
