Are MBB exits really that much better than B4/Accenture? I have recruiters from 4/5 FAANG, a few PE firms, random startups here and there and lots of other consulting firms reaching out daily

I’m here to validate that you don’t need that chip on your shoulder

From what I’ve gathered on this app, the sought after exits you list are definitely available to B4 too. There’s allegedly very specific firms/niches that only use MBB as feeders, which I believe to be true, but don’t know any examples. Also when it comes to industry exits at clients, MBB promotes faster so you could have an MBB partner and a B4 director with same years of a experience, but the exits are going to look better with the “partner” title

I think they’re better if you spend many years with one client. Mbb will have gotten you more exposure to senior leadership. I’ve seen folks do this and then land some wild SVP+ exits from non partner levels, which i never saw from ACN/B4. But mostly otherwise, similar and agree with what folks are saying here. I’ve also had this question from my own experiences.

The other thing that could be different is that hiring managers for strat roles that are ex mbb may have preference for mbb as they’re more familiar with the skill sets. And if you’re younger and trying to hop industries (especially to something like VC or PE), mbb may open doors that others wouldn’t.
