Can I get some advice on deciding between a big 4 consulting firm in NY vs. MBB in LA? I love both companies but just want to know if MBB really gives you a jumpstart compared to firms like Monitor, EYP, Strategy&?

Just go to MBB, you can always go down the totem pole but climbing back up ain’t easy

That's the truth! It's worth taking the leap to see for yourself if that jumpstart is really worth it for you personally.

Absolutely MBB no question lol

MBB wut

MBB! once in, if you are more than average you can easily move wherever you want.

If you are given the chance, go for MBB. Yes, it will definitely give you that jumpstart. Good luck!

Tech (Which I guess would be MBB -> tech)

Honestly location is a big factor in how happy you will be day-to-day and it's not that easy to transfer once in MBB. Happy to chat as I was in a similar spot.
