have an offer at a boutique consulting firm for a Director position with a 30% hike. i’m not sure if the non brand name will affect in the long run. from big 4 i’ve been able to get MBB interviews (which i wasn’t able convert) but will the boutique firm basically preclude me from top tier consulting offers? the boutique consulting firm usually does long term implementation projects and fewer core strategy projects but is the hike in pay and position worth it? anyone gone through a similar path?

I mean at your level, does it really matter?

Exactly, so gooo

Make the move. Did the same thing and happy. Far from concerned about exits and already have B4 and other brand name firms on the resume.

but you’re at a b4 now? so you came back?
