If i went from b4 M to f500 director, and wanted to move back to an mbb M role - is there significant career value in doing that? Or am i already in the exit, where adding mbb to to my resume wouldn’t be super impactful?

For reference i chose the industry role over the MBB role, so i think I’d have a good shot at getting it again. Current hours and pay are great (new parent), but I’ve felt FOMO ever since and all the typical industry frustrations are present in my current role.

I mean thats the end goal right? I heard that if you have at least 2 years of mbb on your resume they set you up with a nice beachside condo in the afterlife.

How many YOE did you have in consulting and what level M did you exit at?

A little over 7 years - left after 2 years of manager level.

It’s not worth it unless you want to make partner or something. The mbb M role is great if you’ve never managed people or multiple stakeholders but would guess you already know how to do that based on your career description

Likewise. I quit with the young kids and boomeranged after they got older

Mastercard? Trouble with Industry is that you become lazy and start loving life, difficult to adjust to MBB Life again

Hello, I recently was reached out to by an in-house recruiter at a similar but slightly different company than the one I currently work for. The recruiter provided a base range and an OTE range. The lower end of that range is what I am currently making. The higher end of that range is almost 200k more than my current comp. The role is almost identical. I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?

Dear All Fisbowls,

I have a query. Request all of yours suggestion and if you have done something similar to this please share.

You have resigned and have offer in hand suppose 15 fixed.
Meanwhile you get another offer but they will give around 17 fixed.
I am thinking to quote my in hand offer as 17 fixed with changes in it and share it with them.
So that they can give me around 20 fixed.
Request to share honest detail here.
