FAANG to Deloitte is common, but FAANG to MBB/T2 is unheard of

Wow, I haven't come across any instance of folks moving from Tech to consulting bar for a partner who moved in the middle of a pandemic to G and then returned within a span of a year. Usually it's one way traffic from consulting to tech. We have lost countless folks to FAANG/M/Uber/Wayfair/DD over the last year. Only recently has the pace of defections somewhat ameliorated
