Has anyone broken into MBB consulting or T2 consulting from FDD? How was the experience and did you end up liking it? Pros and cons?

I did accounting advisory at one big 4 to M&A consulting - odd, CDD, pmi, smo, etc. (which falls under “strategy” technically) at another big 4 several years ago. I like it. It’s less accounting focused and has a more operations lens to it. I feel going FDD straight to MBB may be tough because why hire an accountant when you can hire 100s of consultants who want that role instead

Not sure where it fits in the tiers, but I went from FDD at EY to restructuring at A&M. The comp is better, work is more interesting, and the job feels more secure.

The cons are traveling can suck and the performance expectations are higher. The work is less formulaic so you need somewhat of a creative mind too.

The latter point was one of the hardest adjustments for me because accounting never dealt with creative solutions.

Thats awesome. Mind if i dm?

Hi all, asking on behalf of my SO. He’s currently in a backend engineer security role and wants to move into an infra related one. He’s in talks with his manager about moving internally in his current company but that is still in discussion. He just got an offer from another company for an infra role but they need an answer in the next week. How do you guys suggest he push for a decision from his manager about the internal move. Should he tell his manager he has another offer?

I know they are on a hiring spree so would coming in as a Manager be possible? I’ve previously been on M&A audit/AAS engagements.
