Don’t discredit yourself cause you’re not coming from MBB. Apply for what you’re interested in. Good luck!

There’s plenty of non MBB in big tech, you don’t need it to get through the door. Contrary to belief, FAANG is not one of the small % of jobs that only MBB folks get access to

Do a quick check on LinkedIn and put in past companies — plenty (if not numerically more) people from Big 4 / similar firms in those roles than MBB. It’s the person, not the firm; and the names of you firm typically mean way less outside the consulting world. Good luck 🍀

Received a job offer. Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a concern I had about it. It's an entry level position, and I don't have much experience. The billables are 2040 a year. For billable hours in civil litigation and insurance defense, is 2040 hours for a 1st year associate on the high end in this field for a small or midsize firm? It seems like most attorneys I know have minimum requirements of around 1800. The compensation is around 80k a year.
