Saw your response to another comment on this post. Take the MBB offer. Big4 and Accenture don’t come close. The hours will be somewhat worse, but it’s not like consulting in general is a 9-5 job, whether it’s MBB or not. The pay, growth, projects, and exit opps are in another league. The work will be more interesting, you’ll be paid more initially, and the gap just keeps getting bigger. Benefits/perks are way better. Path to partner/promotions are also faster. If you actually end up not liking it, you can always leave for most exit opps you might want with MBB on the resume.

SM-3-5 yrs to MD

I think I would always have a bit of regret if I turned down an MBB offer. And if you’re only reason is workload then once you’re out your future self will wish u stuck it out. Cmon man don’t back down from the fire. U only get one life. You’ve been given the opportunity of a lifetime to step up on the big stage. Take it. MBB 100%

Start at MBB - come and join D/P after. Better role/compensation + Tag

Tag= Ex McK, Ex BCG, Stealth Startup,

12 years for Analyst to MD.
Fastest I've seen is 8 years.

I understand thinking long term but I wouldn’t factor in how fast you can become MD when evaluating your first job. I would evaluate based on your goals in the next 2-5 years.

PA: Biden extends lead beyond 35K ballots

My intuition is that the networks want to call all three to provide extra margin for error given the stakes and fine margins.

Hi all- My SO is currently at a Big4 & was initially preparing for S&O roles at GCP but given the high number of ex MBB consultants hired, they believe its just more competition to get the offer & to eventually get promoted over time.

Instead, they have decided to pursue program manager or cloud consultant roles, which they feel might have a lower barrier to entry from an assessment standpoint. Not sure if the bowl agrees but would like to get your thoughts, thanks!

Advice and/or consolation anyone? My wife and I (both above average health 30year olds) were trying for 11 months before getting pregnant and then had a week 5 early miscarriage a few months back. If the stress and surprise of just how difficult it apparently is to get pregnant wasn’t enough, the miscarriage put us over. We got back to it and have been trying for the last 2 months again, still no luck. We’re freaking out… all we want is a family. Any similar stories? Advice? 😢
