Hi Has anyone made the switch from a bank to BIG 4. I currently work in Market risk and have few offers from Consulting firms.
What should be considered while deciding ?

Why do you want to switch to consulting? There are so many cons with consulting. Most people in consulting switch to Banks later in the career.

Ask for project. Take all the specifics regarding the project as they can give you any kind of work.


Also, your stay won't be as smooth as you had in Credit Suisse.

Yeah, depends if you don’t want to dwell into repetitive tasks as well to learn holistically then you can move to consulting
