Is the Big 4 to MBB jump common? I know everyone wants to work at MBB, but curious to see how often that desire actually materializes

Thanks!!

Well not everyone, the ones actually at MBB want to leave 😉

This is true.

I’d say it’s actually not very common (without an MBA). The ones who I’ve seen lateral typically are Director-level and have some type of specialized expertise, such as Risk, M&A, etc. They come in on the ‘Expert’ track.

A Consultant or Senior jumping directly from Big 4 to MBB as a strategy generalist is not a common move at all.

M1, MBA at Deloitte

If I leave Deloitte, it will be to an MBB....or because I died from the stress.

Anyone have any friends who successfully pivoted out of advertising? I know a handful of people who are half-trying to, but I can’t think of anyone who has made a clean break, on their own terms, into something that appears to be making them feel more fulfilled than they were in the ad biz. So they continue freelancing in order to make a living, while not gaining much traction elsewhere.

Hey everyone - I could do with some advice. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I am having a hard time getting interview calls. I am trying to pivot from consulting to the industry and targeting project/program management roles. I have been doing this work for 7+ years now (total YOE 12 years) so certainly have the right skillset. I have tried a couple of referrals too but that didn’t help either. Any advice you guys could provide would be helpful. Thanks!
