why would you want to do that? youll almost certainly work more for less pay

@G1: I can see why someone might move at that level. Pay is comparable and at times higher at BCG / Bain and progression is faster.
@OP: Work life is harder at MBB for sure. As an expert partner, you get paid a little lesser but you have much lesser responsibility (hence hours) as well. You will likely have an army of more motivated people working and burning the midnight oil for you. But client work is client work - the peak workloads will be intense and kill flexibility when a client needs something urgently done.
I have heard pretty bad things about Meta - based on what I have heard, I think the culture is a little better because people are respected more but work hours are longer.
If you don’t have an option of moving to another big tech and want to leave meta, this is not a bad option at all since it only adds to your resume IMO.
Good luck OP !

Meta is equity heavy, Bain is all cash. Total comp is similar and ~1.XX M and not moving for the slight comp bump.

Other tech are viable options, but is the move to consulting slamming the door shut on tech for the future? Wanted to try and the exposure to C suite at consulting could open doors for further career moves.

I’ve been prepping for MBB for months but I know I’m still not ready. I’m struggling with staying structured and with creative questions. I’m really frustrated because I feel like I’ve put in so much work but I’m not where I need to be to make it. I know if I interviewed today I wouldn’t make it through.
Any advice?
