Ex-Big 4 folks at MBB: how has the experience been for you so far? Any of you been in a situation where you’re coming to a MBB in a lower role but have excelled in moving up quickly? (Or not.) Thinking about making the leap but would love to hear if the MBB hype was worth it. (FWIW: My work hours are 65-80/wk so I’m pressed to think it’ll be that much worse on the other side.)

Been a great decision, never looked back. More opportunities come about where places/roles are specifically stating former-mbb experience as a requirement.

Fantastic to hear! What was your journey to EM? (Lateral hire or did you go to Consultant and then get promoted in <1 yr?) Also I’m wondering to what extent it was challenging to rebuild networks and know how the firm truly operates and if that slowed promo cycles. Thx!

But they told me max they can give is 29.5L. I still did not accepted the initial offer from HR, it is going again one more round for salary negotiation after HR confirms the bracket from Business. I know Natwest dont negotiate once you accepted the offer. What CTC can i expect from Natwest for Lead SE.
