Easier to move up. It’s much harder to get to extremely high paying roles ($500k+) in big tech than MBB. MBB partner isn’t easy by any means, but it’s easier to acheive than SVP at a major tech company.

Mckinsey is right, MBB can’t compete with tech in TC. SVPs make 1M+. People with 5+ yoe at faang can easily make 4-500K

If you are average or slightly better it is the best way to make money without really knowing much about anything. At least based on my experience best people leave and actually do something more concrete

G’day folks, new in here loving the vibe. I’m a strategy and M&A Manager (Non-top tier) +8 YOE in consulting and a founder with a personal impact, If I get to have an MBB referral for an interview I’d possibly pass out from excitement. Never been more confident to ask for it and chase the dream to join McKinsey, BCG, or Bain please let me know (Happy to share my resume/or get on a chat before you refer me)

My friend is recruiting for MBB this summer - he is a vet back at school and grew up around the world.

Hey guys, need some advice. I was fortunate enough to get the Consortium fellowship at Ross but am also stuck on the CBS waitlist and am still planning to apply to Wharton in R3.

For context, I want to get into product management at FAANG/fintech with pursuing MBB as a plan B. Thanks in advance!

is it worth it to shift to IB or MBB after 7 years in the big four(audit and fdd)? I do think IB and MBB are interesting fields that you can acquire unique skill sets and a good network. But I don’t think I couldn’t keep up already for a daily grind. The reason why I did not pursue it earlier in my career is that I am not from a target school and I do not have an MBA. lol thoughts?
