Big 4 post-MBA consultants - did y’all see a marked improvement in exit opps after you made manager? This is assuming you were in big4 strategy at the senior associate/senior consultant level right out of B-school. Thanks!

Anyone in RSM TMT TAS group? How is the exit opportunity/hours/pay/wlb/turnover? Joined B4 as an A2 in audit last year. Tired of audit hours and the industry I’m currently in. Heard about advisory having better hours but it also depends on the office and client.

Currently, nothing exciting about my job at Big 4 so, would like to give myself 4-6 months before I give a shot at FAANG+M, any suggestions on what key skills I should focus on and tips for interview prep? Open to learn any new skill (hard or soft) that can improve my chance at faang. All suggestions that help me plan and execute this journey are welcome.
