If you had to compare an analyst at somewhere like West Monroe to an internal role at MBB, which candidate would you prefer to hire into a analyst role? Assume all else is equal (education, previous experience, etc.)

MBB

Depends on the internal role. Are we talking you are making copies all day or are an internal finance analyst?

Good point. I wrote this with a functional support role in mind.

I’d lean towards client facing; the reality is MBB has great talent on the front lines, but I’m not wowed by them being run as a particularly efficient businesses.

Professional services firms are relatively easy to run, especially when compared to something like a manufacturer or tech company. The only exception I would make is if the MBB internal role was strategy or innovation focused.

Agree with SC 1... depends on what you want to get of your decision. Being on the line guarantees exposure to other businesses, people, and project types. If your plan is take an internal role at an MBB and move to the line later, then make sure that’s something people have done in the past. If the internal role is strategy/innovation at MBB, I’d try to understand how you will fit into the role, especially at comparably larger organization.

Additionally if you want a 9-5, internal anywhere will protect your hours.
