I see a lot of moves from MBB to firms such as OW and S&; folks who made such a move - what are your reflections? Do you regret the move? Any concerns on perceptions in your circles/ in the job market?

Don’t know about S& but we have a ton who joined from McKinsey, BCG and Kearney. Not many former Bainees for some reason. Many came at Partner level and when things have worked out well, they seem to have been quite happy with the move financially and professionally. I think OW is a better firm to move at senior level than at junior level.

Highly doubt a non-Lebanese person would be able to get a job at S&. It’s probably that as the key reason - solid job security due to family and community connections
