Currently a staff 2 in consulting at EY. I have upcoming interviews with a less reputable MM IB and Strategy&. Curious if anyone was between going into strategy consulting or less reputable IB and their reasoning/if they made the right decision?

Hate to break it to you, but big 4 is not super reputable outside of the Big4 koolaid drinkers. MM IB will open way more doors in finance than EY.

I just left EY as a staff 2 for ACN strategy. Got paid a whole lot more to do actual strategy consulting in tech. I wanted to do just strategy work and no implementation which is why I left EY. Also the pay bump since EY underpays staff.

This wasn’t a HCOL city, so my friends that made S1 are at 85-90 base. This isn’t strategy group either. 117 is on the closer side to what M1 makes

It depends on what you want to do and I imagine that both should look good on an MBA application. If you want to exit to PE, you’ll probably have an easier time breaking in from an ib background
