Folks who made MBB from T2 lateral - was the grass truly greener, and everyone all that smarter? Edit: by T2 = OW, S&, LEK, ATK, EYP.

Did Roland Berger get kicked out of T2? And is EYP still reaalllly T2?

funnylike

Lol, are ATK and LEK still somehow T2? Is Deloitte S&A (ex-Monitor) T2? Where does Accenture Strategy fit? Questions questions questions, and Vault doesn't seem too kind to the Good 3 "old boys club." And wait...Roland Berger still exists outside of the EU?! 😱 🙀😲

No noticeable difference in intelligence, tons of smart people at mbb and t2 alike. Expectations slightly higher, resources much more abundant, and projects much more diverse

Grass is greener for sure if you mean overall consulting and your case experience.

You get worked harder though and expectations are higher

Greener in which aspect?

The only thing I’ll say is more resources, more perks (not really a thing during Covid though) and more diverse projects
