It depends. If you’re a perennial top performer at a Big 4 strategy shop, the learning curve isn’t as steep to jump to MBB. Like McK said above, you have to bring the good parts of the job over but check the stuff at the door that doesn’t belong (ie “this is how we used to do it at Deloitte” mentality). In my personal experience, by far the worst hires that don’t figure it out are very experienced industry hires, while the consulting veterans and brand new entry levels figure it out quicker

Don’t

Usually it works against. 2 years ago I had a freshie from industry, 1 from Accenture and 1 from Deloitte in my team. The industry guy was the easiest to coach and mould into the McKinsey way of things. The other two had outputs that didn’t resemble McKinsey quality or style and needed a lot of re working.

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!
