If goal now is to get into MBB (personally prefer McK) - which of the following will be the best option that’ll help me get there -

1. SC at Big4
2. Engineer role at Startup (salary +50% higher than big 4 SC offer)
3. Amazon/Amazon Ops role (salary similar if not higher than option 2)

Would greatly appreciate any insight from the community.

That’s horrible advice. If his goal is MBB, going into big4 consulting provides more of a path to that than going straight into industry as a SWE.

The Big 4 role is most likely to get you into McK, but why do you want to get into consulting? Most people want to exit MBB to get into FAANG.

The Amazon role seems like the best bet. Screw McKinsey lol.

Amazon role seems to be really specific in one area - and I felt I might get bored after a while.

Why not apply to MBB right now?

Because after working in consulting at 60 hours a week I realize I would break at 80 hours a week.

I think those are good choices. Amazon probably the best.

Would the non-consulting aspect of amazon be less attractive than someone who actually does consulting?

1.

Are you also considering an MBA?

Not at the moment.

To be honest, none has a clear path into mbb. If you want to go to mck digital or similar 2. Would be the most relevant

Why 2 over 3 though? I was thinking 1 because it’s atleast within consulting.

Top 5 MBA will be your best bet imo

Unfortunately that’s something I don’t have at the moment.

Maybe just cover one and they can do the other if they want? Don’t want to be rude if it’s expected but also don’t want to blow our budget… any perspective on the “norm” appreciated!
