Do new MBB laterals with work experience after getting a professional degree (medicine, law, etc) get credit for that experience? Or would, say, a fourth year law firm associate who goes into consulting start at the same pay level that a fresh MBA grad would?

Essentially everyone starts at the same level with the same pay. But people with advanced degrees or work experience might be able to translate that into a faster promotion depending on their performance. Also, exit opportunities can be exceptional after adding MBB to some top tier law, medical, or academic background

This is a classic mistake that people make. For your own sanity, it's better to start at the bottom and have more of a ramp to learn. Starting at the MBA level and getting paid 200K+ should be good enough

How is it a mistake if it's a question? Are you implying that it does actually happen in practice that non-consulting laterals start at higher pay/level than fresh post-MBAs?

Of course not. It's a totally different field.

I have had offers in different fields that do give extra credit (or sometimes extra pay without extra seniority). So it's not very 'of course not'.

Doubtful. You might be able to negotiate some credit (maybe up to 6 months), depending on the office you have an offer from. If it is a big office (NYC, Boston, Chicago, SF, etc), then its pretty unlikely.

Very rarely. It’s a different job! You might be able to go faster contingent on performance, but you’ll probably be as green and inefficient as anyone else new to the job. So we usually start you off at the post MBA entry level

Coming in at a higher level can also hurt you if you don’t have the right experience. A third year post MBA consultant is usually managing partners, clients, and 3-5 person teams very closely. It’s rare that a doctor or lawyer with the same YOE has had that type of experience - and then had it in an MBB environment, which adds a new layer of complication

Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
Eight associates sneak in the back
