Is it possible to switch from ZS to MBB without an MBA? I have heard it has become more difficult over time, is it because of the market in general now ?

Not possible without an MBA

Even pretty unlikely with an MBA…unless u get HBS or Wharton

Of course a Stanford mba will give you every opportunity to land a MBB job

Also very office dependent. Smaller regional offices will recruit from the best local MBA programs

Does anyone regret joining a boutique consulting firm? I signed with a startup out of college (spring 2020) whose founding partners were all partners/Sr leaders at a few T2s. Our firm is super small (dozen FTEs) but does really good work (we charge premium rates and work super cool projects). I’m just having second thoughts as exit opportunities aren’t as prevalent as I thought, the pay/benefits don’t match industry/risk of joint a startup, and I’m not getting the network of a Big4 or MBB
