Usually happens in reverse when MBB folks want a less intense environment. Unfortunately big4 to mbb is rare without mba

I feel like it is common for MBB to hire consultants from Big 4 but more for execution related practices but I might be wrong. Was curious to hear other Fb experiences

I'm curious to know if that's common and at what level do you start seeing this

^that's also true. I have known a few people who went to specific implementation practices from big4 but not BA/consultant roles

Depends, but is usually related to a specific practice they are trying to build out and generally more senior level.

BCG when I was an SA.

Analyst here, was approached twice by McKinsey Solution.

What happened D1?

Nothing, didn't want to get into any specific solutions too early in my career so I let it go.

@k1 why wouldn't you go

Hi Everyone - I was hoping someone could throw some light on the kind of work trust and safety does.

Or is it more engineering?
