Echo others. It’s really hard (I went from T2 to MBB) and that was brutal. So much outsider bias

A few thoughts:


1. T2 prob much easier. They’ll give you the benefit of the doubt while you get situated
2. Really crisp story as to why (e.g., the focus area no longer prio for the firm - target MBB has it or you’re coming from an established practice and can be a SME to another firm that wants to build it)

Best of luck. IMO, 70-80% of the three firms are the same, unfortunately the people don’t look at it that way and make integration challenging to outsiders

Why would you necessarily want to at this level? Even if your platform is collapsing, you'll be starting from scratch in building a network at a new place.

Though, I can understand for potential culture, office, or practice area realignment.

No insights on practicality unfortunately.

Quite complicated to explain. I have a solid client base but face some challenging politics here at BCG.

Whatever challenge you face, rebuilding network from scratch probably harder

I know of one BCG principal who moved to EY-P recently. Havent talked with him since but I imagine it similar. Recommend you use linkedin advanced search and just reach out to folks honestly.
