How are MBB internal roles/staff roles viewed with regards to prestige? Are there any instances that you can recall of someone moving from a “back office” role such as procurement to “front office” /consulting ?

It rarely happens without leaving to another firm for a consulting position and coming back or via MBA (and still going through the full interview cycle). I’ve never seen the direct move happen

Don't think it's possible from any backoffice position.

I know people that came from the Research team to consulting, though. Don't know if that fits your "backoffice" definition.

Low in prestige and low on the MBB totem pole.

Extremely rare for someone to move from support into client facing, generalist roles.

It does happen but very rare. But the back office sometimes is not that bad at all if you want enjoy the good benefit plus good WLB

Netflix, Stripe and Slack seem appealing. But honestly, mainly because of the pay and prestige.
