Getting this off my chest… few folks in my leadership randomly talk about how they had MBB offers out of business school but they picked big 4 strategy. 😑 Like don’t they think about how this almost sounds incredible to believe.. It sounds like they need to name drop. That’s my rant.

Not a leader here but i did not take a BCG offer. Not because i felt D is better but because i dont think i am capable of sustaining that lifestyle and WLB. People who work in MBB are too good.

As much as we say, the WLB is much better for me compared to a few friends who took MBB. They are richer but i think i have what i need and will not have been done well and burnt out there.

Honestly, the people I’m talking about don’t have a WLB. They are very much about prestige. I can understand what you are saying and your reasoning but these people I know are different.

Literally everyone from my M7 took MBB over T2 unless they were sponsored. I’m not exaggerating. There wasn’t a single person otherwise.

There were a couple people that were sponsored from T2 and tried recruiting MBB (successfully), but decided to go back ti T2 so they didn’t have to pay the education back.

I’m thinking the folks I’m talking about made it to a round and they are claiming to have got offers. With their obsession for prestige, not sure why they’d lose something they talk about even after 20 years. They were not in T2 before business school.
