How much better is MBB compared against T2 firms such as EYP or OW in terms of exit ops and respect on resume? Worried about how successfully I’ll be able to pivot out of T2 in the coming years.

I wouldn't throw out a resume because of MBB vs T2. Also, name of company alone won't get you very far without the right experience and performance

like

Some headhunters will specifically search for MBB profiles.

A recruiter for a specific role you apply to isn’t going to place a ton of more weight. Your specific experience and career progression will matter more

like

Most folks don’t know, or don’t care; some shops look specifically for ex-MBB and recruit accordingly

FWIW I get 80-90% similar places that reach out to me now as I did at Deloitte, biggest difference is that they put me 1-2 levels higher

Another way to look at this. You typically get one of 3 types of companies:

- Sophisticated, high paying ones who are able to recognize the right talent based on many signals. MBB certainly doesn't hurt but it's not going to wow the hiring manager as most people at the company also have a variety of impressive backgrounds

- High paying ones who are obsessed with pedigree. Probably not the best culture you'd want to stay at long term

- "Low paying"/less sophisticated ones who are enamored by fancy resumes. You may be able to get a higher title initially but your ceiling at the company will be lower. Trying to jump later from higher role at lessor company to lower role at higher tier company usually doesn't work well

MBB is multiples better, no question. You get many more “at bats” and with bigger opportunities

like

Is the recency of MBB experience important? Or just that you have it on your resume as past experience?

The MBB alumni network and recruiting machine is much stronger than EYP. We place people into some pretty questionable roles and don’t have a good system, alumni database, or things like garden leave (is this still a thing?) like MBB does

It definitely makes a difference lol

If you go for interview and you sort of know that the person interviewing you might be curious about something on your negative on your resume like why is there a gap or why were you in XX role for so long?

Do you address it pre-emptively? Or does that show insecurity and you leave the elephant in the room and wait till they ask you?

I guess this is more in the case of networking than interview like do you make your own story?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
