Are post-MBA exits from MBB actually as good or easy as they’re perceived to be? It seems like everyone is walking out for 15-30% (or more) TC bump, with better WLB at great companies - is it really as easy as just sliding right into places like FAANG and whatnot? Or do folks from MBB also struggle with exit opps and leveling and whatnot?

Will note I’m pre-MBA, but from looking at friends’ experiences, FAANG type exits are always going to be tough, but doable. Just a standard F500 strategy exit that beats current comp…I don’t want to say “easy”….but kind of.

I’m about 2 YOE so granted there are more roles for my kind of position than any other level, but I probably avg ~1-2 recruiter InMails a week. Granted most of them are not anything I’m interested in and would likely not pay the level you’re describing, but just doing the math it wouldn’t be that hard to make one of those work out and check all the boxes.

There’s a lot of selection bias in what you see on here. You don’t see the people that took a pay cut or even moved laterally in terms of comp.

Median exit is probably roughly flat total comp, better WLB, slower comp growth trajectory.

That’s what I’m thinking - the loudest voices are either the people who doubled their TC or had a really shitty experience interviewing somewhere. Most offers I’m getting are roughly lateral on base comp but once you factor in COL, it gets sideways pretty quick

New project has finally got together a solid team. We're kicking off some new work within the next few weeks. I also might get my offer from my firm in a few weeks... how bad does jumping ship look?

Why would someone who’s proficient in 1 or more programming languages take a job as a consultant? Are there any key benefits as opposed to going into software engineering or a dev role internally?

How do you all handle “just for practice” interviews? Recruiter reached out for position I’m qualified for but not necessarily aligned to career goals. Like could I say I’m just starting to look and

This might be such a scrub question. But when filling my taxes on turbo tax, do I have to click that I owe taxes for other states from when I was traveling and working for clients?

I’m getting lost in charts right now - things like NDX are still at 9000 when we hit rock bottom of the financial crisis we were at 1000. How are we here?
