For a non-tech professional, would exiting into FAANG/MAMMA from MBB or Accenture be better?

Slight edge to MBB, but it’s not nearly as dramatic as this bowl makes it seem. ACN is a great firm with a solid tech reputation among consulting firms.

Yes (as in both work) . Which role are you hoping to exit into? All depends on which firm will give yiu more applicable exposure for said exit.

MBB. The extra branding can't hurt if you already have accenture on your resume, but consider role. A manager at accenture can access more opportunities than an Associate at McKinsey due to the people management experience.

Razor edge to MBB but tech genuinely loves Accenture. Look at our senior ranks for former Accenture its everywhere.

Note non tech MBB has a much better landing when compared to big 4 / accenture

I don't like my job, the responsibilities and tasks aren't right for me or my lifestyle.

Key positives for my current employer are pay and security. But my new role within the company isn't working for me, and ultimately I don't think it is for the company either.

A much much smaller (20 people) company offered me a role.

With the global economic situation as is, is it worth the risk to change to a job I know i'd like more with less pay, and potentially less job security?

Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
