Close to making Associate (Pre-MBA) and 120K at ATK, but considering making the jump to entry-level at MBB and taking the pay cut for better exit ops (i.e. PE). Thoughts?

Nope, negotiate for atleast your current level

Which region are you from? Try negotiating to come in at the JA / SBA level.

How many years of experience do you have

Paycuts are dumb

Depending on how many years out from undergrad you could come in as an ASC, which is a significant pay raise. Otherwise I think you could negotiate a SBA or JASC

Thanks for the advice everyone. The info you asked:

Region: New York
Age: I’m 2 years out from undergrad (graduated Spring 2016)

Even 3 years in IB will have you enter as an associate at BCG

If you have been with the firm for 2.5 yrs and make Associate, if your heart is set on another firm for whatever reason, you can easily lateral over. Make associate then lateral. You’ve got great progression, build strong network and it’ll be easy.

Don’t take the cut. I interviewed for associate at mck as SBA with Atk.

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

Is it naive to hope that there could be a job out there that I actually LIKE doing as opposed to just forcing myself to do it for the paycheck? I work for a great company with (mostly) great people but still find myself wishing I could be doing anything else throughout the workday. After a number of different jobs in industry and consulting have left me feeling the same after a year or so, I'm starting to wonder if it'll always be this way and actually liking work is just out of reach.
