Are any of the big 4 firms seen below one another?

Or is it more

McKinsey=Bain=Bcg > D=EY=pwc=kpmg?

Purely talking in terms of prestige. Not sure if that’s even true for MBB but I’ve always wondered if “not all big 4 firms are created equal”

Think Deloitte S&O (if it still exists, not sure how the mapping works these days) and Parthenon within EY are above non-Parthenon EY, PwC, and KPMG Strategy from the quality of work perception, but not sure if that’s actually true in the market

Well they are being compressed too so 🤷🏽

KPMG definitely more prestigious than MBB. Come here bro

You’ll notice “prestige” isn’t in the equation. Because who cares.

depends on offering. If you're talking about audit then D=E=P=K>MBB

For audit it’s P>D=E=K>MBB

Who cares? We are all trying to leave

But seriously, you can't do client-serving tax or audit at MBB, so it's pretty clear why Deloitte sits so far above.

I think McK is above all

Serious question: do I *need* MBB on my resume to have good exit ops from consulting? I have an M7 MBA, but struggled to land interviews because I didn’t have big brands on my resume (confirmed by recruiters). I wouldn’t be surprised if most/all F100 and FAANG hired MBB only.

Is it easy to get into either of MBB in another country, let’s say Russia or UAE, with a degree from a US non-target yet good school? I would assume a US degree will be much more coveted than any local degree. I can work in either countries as well as US, and I would love to leverage that to get ‘MBB’ on my resume if that can be pulled off lol I’m not sure if the quality of experience will be the same.
