Directors / Senior Managers in Big 4, would you consider shifting to MBB as Managers? Or would you rather try for Partnership at your current firms or go to Industry? My current firm is a bit crowded at the top and I have 2 offers - one from a MBB and one from a T2, but both need me to go down a level. I feel like I am too old to be a Manager (35). The salary is definitely comparable and the T2 at least is promising me faster growth to Partner (on paper)

My hot take. At 35 I’d do it for 3 years then exit to VP level in industry if you didn’t plan on trying for partner at either firm.

Some of my Big 4 Directors / Senior Managers have had exit to VP level from my current firm. Good take for sure, but that part is leaving me a bit confused. I don’t know what I am missing in comparison to a MBB

No
