I have 3 YOE at a T2 and 1 YOE in f500 Corp strat. How feasible (if at all) is a move to a post-MBA generalist role at an MBB?

Generalist might be hard but you have a good shot as an experienced hire into a practice. For an experienced hire to come in as an associate I think it's 5+ years of experience

Very feasible

Yep. Interested in boomeranging back to consulting (MBB if possible) but don’t want to pay $200k for an mba to do it

During your 3 YOE at T2, I presume you were promoted to the post MBA role or were right about to be at the 3 year mark? Plus another year of experience at f500. I think you’d have a shot to network and get an interview but cold apply may not

Probably a hard sell.

Without an MBA, very unlikely. More likely if you’re currently in the consulting role, but still very unlikely. MBB will usually down title people even with an MBA, so you’ll need to make manager to have a realistic shot imo.

Good day :) I hope everyone is doing well. I am requesting assistance from anyone in regards to a question that a Recruiter posed to me in a series of questions. This process is not that same that I am use to while working as a Recruiter Coordinator. Nevertheless I really want this job and I know that I can and will excel in the role. Yet can someone assist me one on one with one of the pre interview questions, to help me better understand? I greatly appreciate your feedback, time and support.
