Do you have to re-case interview to hop between teams internally at MBB? Ex: starting generalist at Bain, but then wanting to get into PEG after 1 year?

No, PEG is just a staffing assignment. There is no interviewing once you are in the company. There is no networking to get on projects, that is all handled through the staffing manager. You can specialize in PEG after a couple of years if you want to, there are no additional interviews.

No internal interviewing. Networking can potentially be a factor if you're trying to optimize for specific parameters (case location, industry, team), but isn't necessary to get staffed and isn't always particularly helpful.

In my experience at BCG, strong performance and a good spoken reputation will open up far more staffing choices for you than any amount of internal networking.

Is it the smart move to take a pay cut and clerk for a judge?

Little context: I was an ED student, full time paralegal/clerk throughout my law school experience, and a single mother. I did not take advantage of the law school extracurriculars and missed out on clerk application deadlines my final year (2020). Would it benefit me to take a pay cut as a transactional clerk by about $20k to work as a clerk for a year then re-enter firm life? I’m transactional and enjoy that line of work.
