If I jump from T2 to MBB, would this cause me to burn a lot of bridge at my current T2 firm? Could the T2 partners attempt to block me from leaving?

lol pal it’s a consulting firm not the MI5 or a spy agency. Neither firm is that important. Also YOU’re not that important.

Bridges don't burn as easily as people fear, and partners can't actually block you

It matters more how you leave matters more than that you leave. Give proper notice, don't abandon a case mid-stream, be gracious in your reasoning ("opportunity I can't pass up" is enough); most partners have seen enough talent leave that a move to MBB reads as ambition, not betrayal

I think everyone is missing OP’s point. They were looking for “wow congrats” and “how did you do it?”

I echo what everyone has said. Say it’s an opportunity you’re excited about and move on professionally. I would just add that you may be asked to leave that day since you’re going to another consulting firm so if you need to download any personal documents (like past W-2s, 401k details etc) I would do that before I tell anyone that I’m leaving.
