Bain & Company Moving to strategy consulting!
Looking for recommendations for how I can transition back to consulting and mainly MBB.
Background:
10 yoe with healthcare consulting with Strategy& in APAC, Middle East and Australia on varied health insurance consultations working as a director leading data science teams.
Feel like I am losing my MC mojo and want to get some years of experience in MBB McKinsey & Company, Bain & Company, Boston Consulting Group
Is there a way without cutting back on pay?

Apples vs oranges. The corp strat opportunities that target MBA students are often not the same corp strat jobs that target consultants a few years after business school. As such, pay and level are often higher, and the hiring companies themselves differ a few years out.
Coming in as an external hire will almost always offer a higher salary than someone in the same role who’s “home grown.” Just how it works everywhere these days.
Also consider trade offs. Long term, consulting will pay more, but corporate strategy will likely have way better WLB. People in those roles tend to be content with a slower salary progression in exchange for not working 60+ hour weeks with no end in sight.
