Fish - need help here. I used to work in the research team at McK / Bain (let’s assume one) pre-MBA. My experience here at BCG has not been great and I am looking to move to another consulting firm.

And if accepted, how would it be perceived - having worked at all three. 🤦🏻‍♂️😞 Or should I just continue at BCG or go back to old firm
