Is it generally unwise to leave MBB less than a year in? Received an offer from an early stage VC with marginal increase in comp, significant increase in responsibility in an associate role. How likely is this to hurt my career later on, if at all?

Most VCs also won’t promote you ever. So I would check that

No one will care if you're a) good at the next job b) at the next job for a reasonable amount of time. This is especially true if you make a career in growth tech. Employee tenures are already extremely short, and since there's a reasonably common anti-MBA/consultant sentiment in Silicon Valley, I'd imagine that abandoning MBB could actually signal strong culture fit to some companies.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
