If I cast a wide net and apply to MBB and B4 roles across the country, is there an expectation to move to the city the role is based out of? Or with travel + WFH, can I be located in another city/state? Wanting to move into consulting ASAP, but would like to stay in my current city (with limited B4 presence and no MBB presence) for personal reasons for a couple of years. Does anyone have insight on/experience with this?

Yeah even at my MBB some teams have started going in on optional basis, but when the entire team shows up everyday and you’re the only one on zoom, cross workstream functions suffer and you start to feel left out. Experiencing that right now 😔 Can’t imagine how that’d be across country

That's helpful insight. and unfortunately, what I figured as well. Thank you!

And then they assign you to your previous company on a loan staff engagement and you’re right back into hating your life
