It looks like every other job. Not good, not bad. The real question is, what did you do while working at B4 that differentiated You from everybody else?

Agreed

They would be confused as to why you want to downgrade but will be happy for the scraps from the BIG 4. MBB (might be big) is no match for the BIG 4.

Feel free

Looks about the same as everyone else applying, so no. Start a company, go to a top 5 school, or some other exemplary accomplishment and yes.

@D1, yes MBA

I should say it really helps. There are better exit opportunities for those who works from the big 4.
