Just about to start! I’m 2 years post MBA. For me, it was a couple of reasons:
1. My practice at EY is really slow at promoting, I would be eligible only next year, so this is a good time
2. I really enjoy strategic work. I know all consulting is moving more towards implementation, but if I want to have a shot at strategy, MBB is my best bet, whereas at EY I do tech implementation
3. I am a sucker for brand names 🤷🏻♀️
4. I hate EY

BA1, it would be the Generalist position in either firm.
I reached out to alumni from business school and had them refer me. The timing almost didn’t work out TBH, but I harassed the recruiting team a whole lot and got them to interview me 😂
And thank you, I’m thrilled at this switch too!
Maybe some advice: being at MBB gives much more self development opportunities for you, meaning up and downside. One example: Here if you don’t push back people keep on giving you work much beyond 80 hours AND checking every 2-3 hours about your progress. Other example: if you have a good idea and can articulate why it is good people will make it happen and support you, even if you are an intern.

I’d say the trajectory would be faster (up or out). Presumably the pay is not a big step back, you’d be better set up for success coming in at a lower level.
