Is it common for consultants to switch within MBB? Have any fish gone this route and how was your experience?

Happens a decent amount at senior levels I think but pretty uncommon at the junior positions

I forecast quick transitions between MBB in the future like in Big 4 based on tons of recent posts like this. I think it’s linked to culture being a more and more integral element of workforce priority

Yup. Very.

D1, I’ve been at an MBB for almost four years, and seen it happen only once.

No it’s not. I have been in MBB for almost three years and have never seen it at my level (post-MBA). Not sure I see the upside to switching?

Not common at all. I know a few AP/Principal moves in each direction and a few lateral Partners from McK. No one I’ve even heard of at A/C/PL levels

Any consultant here who has worked at Citadel or knows someone who is working at Citadel? A recruiter from there reached out to me today, and I got the sense that the culture there is more intense compared to consulting. How would you compare Citadel vs MBB on the below points:

a) Culture
b) Diversity (I am an international student and a person of color, and my sense is that Citadel is not as international)
c) Comp trajectory

Thanks!
