Not that easy but I’ve seen people do it before. Issue is that MBB don’t really hire a lot (they do a lot of MBA recruitment) but they don’t hire at the same speed as big 4

Depends on your potential & the demand at MBB. Source: I made the switch

Anyone have any friends who successfully pivoted out of advertising? I know a handful of people who are half-trying to, but I can’t think of anyone who has made a clean break, on their own terms, into something that appears to be making them feel more fulfilled than they were in the ad biz. So they continue freelancing in order to make a living, while not gaining much traction elsewhere.

Fish who have been feds,

I have been stuck deciding between two offers (both in IC, but one is more program analysis -similar to consulting work but on the fed side, and actual analysis).

The program analysis offer is at a higher GS level and a more well known agency, but is not what I’m interested in.

Does anyone have any advice on how to make a decision? Go with what I want to do, or go with the more well known agency and higher gs?

Are there alternative titles that you find more appropriate for 2022?
