Is the work you’d do at MBB significantly different from big 4 strategy? Debating IB vs MBB, leaning towards IB because it seems like a different skill set.

Even if it is the same work (it’s really not) you wouldn’t get the same “credit” as MBB. If IB is open to you, head there for two years and off to PE you go

Not my experience, but I’ve known a couple close friends do MBA > IB for 2 > MM/UMM PE. Maybe just small sample size skewed the wrong way. Point is, it’s not unheard of
