Lol, they should have incubators who do that, but again slots would be limited, implying competition, implying the same scenario. Lol

It's highly possible but there just isn't a lot of interest. For junior folks they'd take a pay cut with worse WLB. For senior folks many don't like the idea of selling.

This is right. I was an analyst, then hopped to tech and work half as much but make more than a senior consultant now. Most people I interact with are running away from consulting, not the other direction

Wanna trade?

Nope - from FAANG to mba should be doable. I had opportunity with Bain and McKinsey. Bain was for either general or analytics consulting track. McKinsey was digital track. Both were consulting. Focus on those groups - you’ll get in if you have a good role at FAANG.

But again VERY different character traits to be successful in both. Very few people are good at hardcore tech work and strategic / structured thinking. Tying those things together isn’t easy no matter how cocky the guy on either side is.

The real question is: how to get into mbb or faang if you are an accountant

Quite a lot of people intern in FAANG (albeit generally SWE) then goto MBB full time
