Is it pretty usual to go from big 4 M to MBB? Or do they not consider Big 4 Consulting as valuable experience?

There is a bracket of folks at big 4 who would clear the MBB bar easily, but unfortunately there is a huge portion of big four that wouldn’t given lower hiring bar, so yes a lot of people do successfully make the switch, but they do have stellar profiles outside of big four too. Could be subject matter expertise, mba, etc.

We do have lots of folks who were B4. It could be valuable experience in some cases, depending on the to / from.

Looking for some advice on a career change. I work in a technical role and have well-developed soft skills. I want to transition to UX (w/ focus on accessibility). There are a lot of UX educational programs out there, some very new, e.g. Dribbble, and costs are all over the place - General Assembly is $15k (and full-time), CareerFoundry almost $8k, and then many others at a fraction of the price. Reviews also vary wildly. Are these more expensive programs worth the huge increase in cost?
