Applied to MBB last year as an undergrad and made it to final round interviews at McKinsey. Unfortunately, it did not work out. Joined the strategy practice of a Big 4 recently. When would be the best time to reapply as an experienced candidate?

Usually when you get promoted to senior, that means after 2-3 yrs of experience.

But honestly why go from a hell to another hell. Think about exit consulting in general if opportunity shows up

One hell matches 1.5% 401k, the other hell matched 10%

Now! Cool down period is 1 year. Reachout to recruiter.

Thoughts? I’m going to drive myself crazy analyzing everything.

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
