Tiers don't matter to big tech in technical roles. Most likely haven't heard of T2 and they usually don't differentiate between MBB and B4/ACN, though some do and it can go either way (B4/ACN seen better for name recognition and tech maturity or MBB for assumed pedigree). Your work and skills are what matter most.

In any case, if you check the skills/experience boxes, yes.

Possible sure but you would have to network to get a referral probably regardless. T2 just don’t have the brand recognition. Once you get your foot in the door, it’s all about what you know anyways.
