MBB has a pension?

funny

Hmmm. Just because you are asked to leave for retirement, doesn’t mean you get an annual amount for pension.

Seems like a very subjective question. Obviously a lot of factors including how you define life time earnings (e.g., full career at either place). I would assume LMM outcomes are far more variable, with likely a higher overall LTV. There’s theoretically unlimited upside on carry, whereas even managing partner cash comp probably doesn’t exceed a 5-10m range. Also much more favorable tax treatment. With that said, MBB has a great pension etc. Don’t think you’ll have earnings as a major concern at either tbh.

is it worth it to shift to IB or MBB after 7 years in the big four(audit and fdd)? I do think IB and MBB are interesting fields that you can acquire unique skill sets and a good network. But I don’t think I couldn’t keep up already for a daily grind. The reason why I did not pursue it earlier in my career is that I am not from a target school and I do not have an MBA. lol thoughts?

Interviewed with Google, Amazon, Cisco, McKinsey, and a few others and every-time there is something that is not a match... are the hiring managers looking for like 100% match?
