Yeah someone left parthenon London for Google

What type of role?

A majority are not from MBB if you scour LinkedIn. Sure it’s common there, but so is b4, T2, ACN and less conventional paths. I would say make your story as impressive and interesting as possible. That might matter more than brands in the coming decade, with all the musical chairs going on right now anyway.

I’m in big law and on the cusp of making the jump to in-house. It sounds like the company I just interviewed with is getting ready to make me an offer. It’s definitely going to be a pay cut coming from big law but I do get some nice equity in the company. Is the jump worth it? I’m so burnt out by big law and this seems like an awesome opportunity to help shape a newish company. Any tips on how to figure out if this is the right move for me?
