This is really stupid, but just struck me than MBB is the obvious next step from MBA, alphabetically...

This is most people.

Think about it: most of M7 comes in averaging 90-100k salaries. Post MBB salaries are 165+signing and year end bonus, with the likelihood of pushing 250+ after 18-24 months. That is astonishing money for most people who can now exit (with the help of their firm network) to senior jobs in any industry they want.

SC1, it’s common even outside of MBB. I’m a 2Y at a M7 going into Tech where my TC will be over 200k and can easily hit 250-300k in a few years of working. Was making 100k at Deloitte before b-school

As the job market recovers and tech talent becomes especially sought-after, some job seekers can be at a crossroads.

Fledgling startup or a big, established company: where would you work?

Working at a startup helps you pick up new cross-functional skills, forces you to dig deeper into your reserves, and allows leadership opportunities.

Big companies typically have a more structured path for career growth, offer benefits and perks to employees, and are perceived as more stable.
