Is MBB worth it?

I’ve never been in mbb or big 4. Just smaller consulting firms. Have a competing offer between FAANG and MBB.

I’m in tech and FAANG is more interesting for my career as well as preferred work culture. However, I’ve seen a lot about MBB here and kind of want to join just so I can say I was in MBB.

Is it gonna be killer hours? Promotion politics? Biases on my lack of education? hoping to hear what others have to say

"I’m in tech and FAANG is more interesting for my career as well as preferred work culture."

That pretty much answers it for you! Do not think twice about it. You already are ahead of the pack and in the right place if you have that FAANG offer in the bag. Take it without worry, you'll be happy.
MBB / Consulting is great for building out the skillset etc, but you already know you want to be in tech. No brainer. Good luck!

If you want you can frame the MBB offer letter, and I actually think a bigger brag is that "I turned down an MBB offer".

Listen, focus on what is important to you, for your career. In the long term, where you work means absolutely nothing. Congrats on your offers.

It’s MBB’s dream to exit to FAANG lol

I work in a corp environment & wondering what others think about this -

I have a large team and after me, I have a supervisor and a manager who my supervisor reports to. The manager recently got promoted to director & my boss is likely to take her role within the next 6 mos.

I was promoted in aug and wondering if it’s crazy to ask for another promo after my boss gets manager. This wouldn’t be for 6-12mos & I will be in my role for close to a year.

Is this too soon to ask? TIA!

Or is it better to wait until I exit to industry and pursue my interest in the military then?
Any and all advice appreciated.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
