Attending an M7 in the fall and looking to transition to MBB. Currently at Deloitte and have only done IT assessments/implementations. Is it worth trying some strategy engagements at Deloitte before I leave to set me up better for MBB, or should I just take it easy?

Definately try out some strategy projects before going to MBB itll set you up for success and gives you a sense of what key skills you should build upon. In your interviews you can talk about your strat exp and it can only make you have a stronger case! I went from IT Audit > PM consulting > strategy consulting happy to chat

It shouldn’t impact your chances but may be good just to understand what the job is like. An impactful thing you can do however is write down what you’ve worked on so you can translate it into good STAR stories/behaviorals. You’d be surprised about how much you forget once you start biz school
