I was scouted by a recruiter from Mck for a BA position in the risk practice but I fucked up the case. Might have gotten the interview because I went to an ivy undergrad

It is possible. I've been offered MBB and I specifically said - I do not have an MBA. I'm not interested in switching personally. Not sure I understand the concept of leaving consulting for more consulting.

Lol, that's exactly me. In addition to knowing the likelihood, it would be interesting to hear from people that actually did it... how hard was it to get into MBB, what was your route... and compare the two jobs.

So some of us have BBAs, but not MBAs. Still 0% chance?

This question is a joke, right? Is an EY Troll emerging??

Someone from my office was a lateral from Big 4; not sure if he was risk. It was a hard transition... gone in less than a year.

@bcg curious- why do you think it didn't work?

Can't know for sure since I didn't work with him, but seemed like a bit of a cultural disconnect and he also came in as someone with a managerial role to a Consultant role (post MBA role, no managing responsibilities for 2 years).

Post-Covid, I just cannot seem to find the inspiration to network at a conference such as the AWS DC summit. I initially wanted to get facetime with vendors to check out potential job openings.
