It depends

Only been in consulting a few months and I think I have this shit down

Depends on how you're looking at it, assuming you're talking about consulting.

-As a resume booster: Most likely yes
-As a way to inflate your sense of self-importance: Yes
-As a way to get you into tech/implementations/etc: No
-As a way to get name brand consulting experience outside of the realm of strategy: Most likely no
-For "prestige": yes
-For comp: Yes

What do you value more?

MBB: Comp, prestige, exit opps, career advancement, strategy-focused work

B4: WLB, less up or out culture/job stability, more operations focused work

Imo MBB is more appealing, but I can see why some prefer B4.

Assuming you’re judging this based on all the traditional factors, MBB far exceeds big four. It’s really not even a question.

Do recruiters and Hiring Managers actually review and read resumes? Also tech companies that sell SaaS, what is it with the requirements of having 10 years or more if technical sales experience? Also the ramp up period is not realistic. Average sales cycle for a reputable SaaS provider is 12-24 months. How on earth a start up can state that their ramp up period is 90 days? The company hasn’t had any new sales either. Start up CEO’s… be realistic or seek enough funding to operate.
