Yes worth but it’s at a price off WLB - if you’re young or older and married but families on board - then definitely worth it!

No question that it is worth it. Congrats.

Yes

Agree with D1, it's generally a good move as long as you don't mind sacrificing more WLB.

Also, if you are planning to exit to industry within the next couple of years might make sense to stay B4 with the heavier title. Exits could be similar to the level down at MBB depending on your practice/specialty.

I did it (PwC also), so worth it. Also keep in mind 401k contributions are 4x pwcs from what I recall, plus other benefits that add up
