OP, just because you happen to work for an accounting firm doesn't mean most consulting firms have core businesses outside of the consulting services they provide
Unless you wanna explain otherwise, I can only assume you're a bit thick. Sorry bro 😪

Literally not comparable. MBB is also called Big 3, as in the top/big traditional management consulting firms. The Big 4 is for the top/big accounting firms.

Therefore, MBB’s non consulting practices can not be compared to Big 4’s non consulting practices - the former can’t matchup up to the latter’s accounting or risk business, just like how the latter can’t match the former’s in management consulting

Non consulting as in—? Human Resources, corporate support, etc?

Has anyone moved from tech consulting to strategy in MBB's. Anyone willing to guide on how you made the move?

Is it worth moving to strategy consulting or do strategy business ops in industry?
