Hypothetical, but actually curious. 6YOE (with a masters), would you take M @ Deloitte or entry level at MBB. Going up for M in our Strategy practice, but just doing some forecasting I feel like comp would quickly beat Deloitte’s in a few years.

Lol what you would go from a 6 YOE M position to a 0 YOE BA position? That’s completely retarded unless you Deloitte people are severely underpaid

If you have both offers, I would strongly consider MBB. The exit opportunities are next level if you hang out for a few years and are successful.

You've learned to manage, delegate, think, etc. Do you want to be dictated to by 24 yr olds that know less than you for 3-5 yrs? Your call.

YOE =/= talent. If you’re a 24 year old managing others in MBB you’ve probably earned it.

If entry level @MBB = post-MBA, then MBB no question and the comp would be higher (at least in London)
If entry level = post-undergrad, then Deloitte all the way
If something in-between (Jr Associate at McK, SAC at Bain, Sr Associate at BCG), up to you - MBB would be a bit below but not dramatically so and you would click up to post-MBA level in 1 year

This.

I left Big4 when I was a year into M, joined MBB as a lateral at post-MBA entry level. Accelerated my pay by years and provided me more exit opportunities. Don’t regret it one bit.
That being said, go for a post-MBA entry level, not undergrad.

Post-mba is referred to as entry level and is almost certainly what OP is referring to

MBB. Everything else is mediocracy being elevated because of their top 20% of talent.

For context, I had a mentor almost in my exact position who made the transition and made EM in 3.5 years. M at D is typically 4 years, and 4-6 at SM. So she was able to surpass her comp at D as M1 very quickly.

I would take MBB, your compensation will be higher in 2 years and your exit ops will be stronger

Entry at MBB, no doubt about it

If you like strategy, go with MBB. You will make more in a few years with better options ( exit or otherwise).
