How much of a difference is there really between Big 4 s&o consultants, T2 and MBB consultants/exit opportunities

There is only one opp I can think of that filters for prestige (PE), but beyond that, no one cares what consulting firm you worked at -- they only care that you have consulting experience

I don't think anyone is arguing that MBB has it easier but how different is the question. I amnin s&o (supply chain) so am curious to hear

A lot, even though it’s not warranted

Oh, I just mean exit opportunities. You get that M7 / MBB ‘stamp’ and slave away for 2 years, you’ll get what you want. That’s how this country works. Rarely are you rewarded for actually being better at something. Prestige and appearance is always what you’re paid for

Let's say for argument sake, you are 1% better at decision making every day of MBB vs T2.

Over 365 days, that adds up to a solid advantage. Over 5 years, very much. By the end of a 30 year career, it's exponential

There are several layers of begging the question at play here, but the primary one is that that experience accrues on a compound interest model. That needs to be substantiated before the conclusions can be analyzed.

It matters for bschool and finance. But that’s it.

I have a question, I got a contract role through a recruiter. Initially the recruiter offered the hourly pay rate which was the minimum in my range. Now I got an offer from the company. Now without me asking her she increased the hourly wage to the maximum range I asked. Which makes me doubt if the company increased it or she knew the rate all along but gave me the lower rate ?

Hello! I see a ton of questions in here about interviewing and getting hired as a PM. I also know that it’s really hard as a manager to hire a great team. I’m the head of product at a growing startup, and just hired two PMs in 3 months. One a career switcher who’d never been a PM before, and one a seasoned principal PM. Whether you are someone who’s interviewing or someone who’s hiring right now, ask me anything!
