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.

Foolish

How would you handle approaching this with your superior?
