Be clear about wanting a sales number and how you’ve managed to sell and keep the culture of your teams strong in the past, and you’ll be golden. Do not take a principal role- they’re pretty meaningless from a comp perspective, you’ll just work more hours doing admin crap. Practice lead or above is only way you’ll advance unless you spend years kissing up to leaders as a consultant. That’s not worth it.

Oh, and negotiate hard for comp. Raises are small and infrequent.

All that said, if you get into the right role it’s a great place with great quality of life.

They didn't reverted back for 2-3 days & just dropped a mail that they are revoking initial offer as well on grounds that they didn't like i gave other interview

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
Eight associates sneak in the back
