Currently part of knowledge team working on M&A related projects within MBB (coming from Big Four consulting). Feel like the job description didn't actually match the role, doing mostly research-related tasks and have 0 client interation. Just received an offer for Accenture strat (M&A) group, with sizeable TC increase. Is the change worth it: client interaction + travel + involved fully in project?or is the "downgrade" to accenture too large to outway the benefits. Headhunters love MBB.

Absolutely makes sense. Accenture is a reputable organization that can give you much better exposures than what you are getting being on backend knowledge teams.
It's the kind of experience and your skills that matter. Brand is secondary.

You should 100% take the offer. A knowledge team is not comparable to a front office consulting role. Accenture strategy is also well regarded, and having actual project experience will make a huge difference in your exits. Headhunters also love MBB consultants, not their back-office, and people you will interview with for exit opps will quickly realize what your position is

Hi everyone just left my permanent role to go the contractor route. Currently employed through a staffing company so I am a W-2 but plan on going the independent route. They offer insurance and 401k. I understand I’ll need to start an LLC. Any advice or things you wish you’d have known when you first started? Would you advise I stay with the staffing? They take. 16% cut but the projects are lucrative

I would like to hit fire between 40-50. Currently 27, 185k total comp (125 for me and 60 for partner). Like my job don’t hate it don’t love it. Does an MBA make sense? I’m guessing it could take me to 170ish with that schools I’m looking at but wondering if the 40-50 retirement range makes an mba not make sense since I’d only have 10-20 years to save vs 12-22.

Would have to finance the whole thing myself. Current net worth is 140k. Thoughts?

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.
