Is it harder to get into MBB / Tier 2 strategy consulting firms as one progresses in his/ her career?
I am a senior consultant at KPMG (advisory - strategy & operations practice) and would like to land a job in a MBB/ Tier 2 company. I may be promoted manager the next year, will it be harder then? Have I missed my chance? Other additional info: F29 - 5 years experience - Europe based

It should get easier but you may also be required to take a step back. For example if you're a manager you may take a post MBA role.

Second this, ive seen several big4 managers join as Associate/Consultant at MBB, to most it still is an increase in salary…

Do you think it is possible for senior associates at b4/Accenture/ibm to come in at the associate level? Don’t think it worth it to start over at associate consultant level at MBB tbh

@ibm not sure what you do but assuming it's mainly technology transformation. Strategy SCs on the other at Accenture and B4 can totally lateral to MBB.

I saw that if someone passes at least the CFA level 1 exam then the requirement of CSC is exempted. Can anyone enlighten me about this? As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.
