Has anyone pivoted from fdd to consulting (MBB)? How did you enjoy the work and hours? Better or worse hours?

Im currently s1 at 128k. If i have an opportunity to join MBB at 110k, would that be silly? Appreciate the inputs

Why do you say that immediately?

Average burn rate is going to be higher at MBB and the travel schedule can be brutal. I think most people would find the upside on compensation and the optionality of exit opps to make up for the downsides

Why do you want to make less money?

I understand the ‘prestige’ is very high with MBB so wanted to get peoples thoughts

Which firm are you at now?

TLDR: take the mbb gig.

If you’re passionate about FDD and want to do it forever until partner , then don’t take the MBB gig.

Otherwise, or even if you’re not sure what you want to do yet, 1000% take the mbb gig. You’ll be able to go back to fdd if you want to and mbb will broaden your opportunities big time.

Did you make a decision? If this is a true MBB consulting role then hard to turn that down for the doors it’ll open but obviously consulting isn’t for everyone and there’s other factors to consider. Sounds like FDD hours are as bad as it gets these days anyway.
