Is it worth leaving MBB to a tier 2 firm because of the kind of work they're doing? Context, took some time off work for personal reasons and I'm evaluating whether I should go back. I want to exit to an energy and infrastructure fund but I struggled to get that kind of work while at McKinsey. Seen some tier 2 opportunities that are in the energy space and I'm tempted to jump ship. Wondering if I'll still be able to find good exit opportunities

Never worth going to a competitor for the work they do. But leave for the people and team. I would go to a T2 for a better and more supportive group of people any day.

Why don’t you network and find some people to talk to first? See if you like them and then decide
