Currently at a T2 in the region and lack of a brand name / understaffing and low performing team mates is making the job a struggle - are T1’s / MBB’s any better?

I’m convinced that the reason some of these firms are so prestigious is because they have intentionally exclusionary recruitment practices. I used to believe that you had to already be rich to get hired at MBB. Now being on the other side of the recruitment process , I really do feel that it rings true. I hate the way we evaluate candidates and decide on who is “high priority” during coffee chats.

MBB or FAANG biz ops?

Is it possible to move into industry or tech roles as an exit from PE (2.5 YOE MBB, 2 YOE PE associate)? I'm really looking for better WLB, even if that means a bit of a pay cut

We always keep hearing about the bad WLB in MBB, especially BCG. Want to know if it's actually true, or is it an untrue rumor spread by people who couldn't get into these companies.

(Note - I am talking about incremental WLB issues, over and above the issues at Deloitte S&O, Accenture Strategy, etc. as these issues are common in management consulting)

Hi everyone, how hard is to transition from PM to VC/PE? Do you have some suggestions, and what are the pros and cons you see from such a change? I have 2 years PM experience, and 1 in strategic consulting (MBB). As a PM I have been involved in many commercial Due Diligences for products we acquired, and I enjoyed them quite a lot. Thanks!

What happens when an MBB senior partner leaves?

We have a few that “retired” and moved to our firm… I’m curious, do they get a bit pay out or something?

For my colleagues who are partners at MBB/Big Four firms, how many of you were "brought in" as partners via an acquisition? Does that model still exist? I'm not sure if a sale is in my future, but always curious about options.

I’m a data engineer/engineering manager by trade and massively screwed up by going into MBB consulting, I absolutely despise it and am looking to leave about 8 months in. I have a great offer from a fortune 50 for product management in tech at a similar salary, way more RSU’s but can’t shake off the thought that I wouldn’t be an engineer anymore. Any advice from you guys to help get past my anxiety and just pull the trigger?

Applied to BCG NYC office in December and made it to the final round, but wasn’t given an offer. Want to reapply to NYC, but was told by a friend in recruiting that they wouldn’t give me a first round being that I was rejected only 7 months ago. Anyone know whether it not this is true?
