If a Senior Manager / Director from a Big 4 wants to jump to MBB or T2 (think OW, Kearney, LEK), what level could they aspire for? Consultant is too many levels down, is Engagement Manager / Project Leader etc possible and if so, recommended? Or is the advice not to jump and stick till Partnership at Big 4? (I am in the midst of an advanced round interview at a MBB and at a T2, but the levels have not been discussed very weirdly in both the cases)

Why don’t you ask what level they have in mind for you? Would save everyone involved some time don’t you think?

Perhaps, but I am not in a do or die desperate situation to jump firms. So, I am going through the motions with an open mind and secondarily, to evaluate myself too in some ways. I don’t want to back out now and worst case, we can all back out at a later stage.

I've seen Managers from Deloitte level down to Consultant/Associate when moving to MBB but Senior Mangers lateraled to Principal/AP. This is only 3-4 cases so YMMV.

I have also seen warnings on FB before asking people not to transition to EM / PL directly. So, I am treading with a bit of caution here

This is helpful, thanks!

Did you not apply to a specific job?

Barracuda 1 you really are incorrect in that line of thinking. I’ve worked MBB and non MBB and the two are really so different

This is highly dependent on firm, sorry. You've given 6 options. Out of those options I would say definitely not go to K for a level downgrade, otherwise it depends.

I’ve had radio silence from a small investment bank for about a week now. I’ve completed several rounds of interviews, but last Thursday the firm reposted the job I’ve been interviewing for. On Friday the headhunter said that they’re not sourcing new candidates and it’s probably just LinkedIn automatically refreshing the listing. She said they had a busy week last week but will make a final decision this week - is the delay and radio silence a bad sign or is this typical for experienced hiring?

Hi guys, After CAF completion by last week, yesterday I received a call from the HR for the second round of evaluation. So, I attended it yesterday and performed well by answering 90-95% of the questions. Even the interviewer gave good comments on my performance. But suddenly today I received an email that my candidature isn't suitable for the role and they're keeping my profile in the database. Does this mean they'll call me if there are openings with some other project?

I was hired on with a company at the same time as my male coworker. We work the exact position, different projects.
I asked him flat out what his salary was when he hired on. His salary is at minimum 15% more. He’s never had a raise.
Neither one of us had any experience in this specific position but he didn’t even have experience in the field, which I did.
I requested a performance and salary review because it’s my annual review time anyway. Best way to address this? Also applying elsewhere.
