M1, no need to be an ass about it
Are you asking a question?
That’s technically not a question
Ok good luck with that, at the end of the day you still work for Booz.
Experience only matters if people believe the experience was real
E.g., if you want to do corporate strategy and don’t work at MBB, then you’re better off working at a small boutique that specializes in strategy instead of doing general MC at big4/booz/acn. Just my opinion.
Experience doesn’t matter unless you are the only one that can do that job. Perception is reality
Brand can definitely be an asset but honestly, i would probably go for experience if you really think that is more aligned with what you want to do after.
Brand name, including Booz Allen, can help exit to an industry that aligns to your experience or usually a smaller firm. However, I believe that QUALITY experience in the type of work you want to do is much better and more transferable (this is relevant to experiences that are not general Mc).
I am D1. If you had to pick between the 2, which would you pick
There is not a generic answer to this question - it all depends on the specifics
