For fish who have left MBB tech roles — specifically in Data Engineering — have you found their DE practices to be on par with their strategy consulting in terms of talent?

Seems unlikely. Top tier tech talent is at fang/sv companies not consulting. MBB is not even in the consideration set for those people.

Meant to ask have you worked at MBB in a tech role but you’ve still answered my question, thank you. For color, I come from a business/analytics background and transitioned into a more technical capacity and notice there is a HUGE gap in understanding what delivering “value” means. I am trying understand if MBB firms emphasize not only technical expertise but also business sense when hiring tech folks.
