Exit opps for tier 1, 2 and 3 management consulting firms. Would you prefer to work at a tier 2 firm as an entry level hire or a Big 4 firm as a senior associate. Comp difference is negligible for both. Which one will lead to better exits in the future. By tier 2 I am referring to firms such as LEK, Kearney, Oliver Wyman etc

What are tier 1, 2, and 3 consulting firms?

funny

T2 Entry Level — you’ll perform well and they can possibly fast track your promo?
Need to consider if MBA is a part of your plan

I would go for tier 2. Currently working for pwc mc. Tier 2 has faster promo, better comp at all levels and probably better exit ops in the future. Also pwc only sponsors about 20 ppl per year for mba, so if mba sponsorship is important for you big 4 is not a good option. Have been trying to exit to tier 2 but no luck haha

Depends what exit opps you’re looking for

No need clear winner here. Thanks y’all

Come from pwc to lek, best decision of my life

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
