For those who exited from B4/MBB into a boutique consulting role, what was it like? Did your pay increase? Did your WLB get better or worse? Have you enjoyed the experience thus far?

I’m about to do this. Curious as well.

I did 10 years ago. It was better at first, and then I realized why the founders had left their B4 firm (which wasn’t the one I came from). Most insincere, catty bunch of people I ever met. Left 17 months later and it was a GIFT to be free of them. Big4 wasn’t always easy, but I always knew where I stood and people were straight up.

Seems unique to that boutiques culture

Is there a general expectation that a Partner has an MBA?

I doubt it's required at most firms but I'm a pretty senior staff and when I speak with Partners, they seem to speak with an MBA level of business knowledge which extends past their technical skillset.

I realize that's what makes them good Partners but it makes me wonder if I realistically need to get an MBA to keep growing and hit Partner.

I’ve been applying without much response, and I’m debating whether a PMP very or masters is going to be necessary.
