Looking at you MBB & FAANG

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.

We always keep hearing about the bad WLB in MBB, especially BCG. Want to know if it's actually true, or is it an untrue rumor spread by people who couldn't get into these companies.

(Note - I am talking about incremental WLB issues, over and above the issues at Deloitte S&O, Accenture Strategy, etc. as these issues are common in management consulting)

So this might be a better place to post this and ask this question: Uncle D has announced explicitly that most people won’t get a pay raise & bonus this year except for those promoted and high performers. Amid this crisis, are companies including other big 3, MBB, FAANG, boutique consulting firms still giving high raises and issue stocks? Can you share the impact from your firm?

To those in non-MBB: Would you rather have an offer in hand right now for MBB or FAANG pm? Assume it’s a lateral transition.

My younger brother has the opportunity to do Software Engineering at FAANG and consulting at MBB as a fresh grad. I told him to do SWE, but I’m afraid I’m giving him biased advise cause I’m jaded in this industry. If you were me, what would you advise him?

Ragazzi.. how’s the compensation in Italy for MBB 1st year BA/Associate?

Prepared for two month while working. Failed two MBB final rounds. Thinking about reapplying next year. How should I prepare myself for that in this one year?

I’m a first-year MBB analyst. My dream role is helping energy / climate tech companies grow (more interested in ops/strategic work than in cutting checks). Are there funds that might be a good fit?

Have a week to prep. Anyone wanna case in prep for strategy firms? Was interviewing for MBB so pretty well versed just need a refresher

Can anyone let me know how easy it is to apply to a consulting firm in Dubai directly coming from London? I am currently working at a T2 strategy firm in London and my partner and I want to relocate in ~1.5 years. My firm does not have an office in Dubai whilst my partners firm does. Is it possible to apply straight (rather than moving laterally in London, waiting a few years then transferring?) interested in MBB views too. (I would have roughly 2.5 YOE by then)

Does Lebanese diaspora really command more power in the MBB and T2 in the region? How can others navigate a career here?

I want to exit to MBB but if that’s not a possibility what are the next best consulting firms? Looking for at least midsize firms (non-boutiques).

How is TSMG in terms of CTC, type of projects and WLB? I have heard CTC is comparable to MBB - is that correct?

Currently a big 4 consultant and got an offer from FAANG for a strategy and ops role that would bring my total comp up 60%. I’m really grateful for the offer and really excited, however, I am also interviewing with MBB. It has always been a goal of mine to work for tier 1 strategy firm as I’ve always felt on the outside looking in at big4. I feel like most exit ops from strategy would be S&O industry roles but still can’t get these MBB firms out of my mind. Am I just overthinking this?

MBB interviewers: Given constant GPA, SAT & UG Program, what increases chance of an industry hire landing a generalist interview: 1-2 YOE at Big 4, ACT, Booz, etc OR 1-2 YOE at Spotify, Snap, Bird...

Thoughts about MBB offices in Doha? How’s the culture, WLB, range of projects, etc.?

How do physical science PhDs fair in applying to and receiving offers from MBB?

How do they do once they are there? Do they struggle to make the transition?

What are the chances of jumping from IQVIA strategy consulting to T2 or MBB? Have previous 6 yrs exp at b4 management consultant in ops and worked some projects with S& and +2 years corporate and value and access in IQVIA

I purchased 8 meals (lunch/dinner) from factor for the week and already ate 2 of them for dinner. Why am I like this? 😕

Has anyone lived in the Louis, 880P, Sonnet, or Âme apartment buildings? Moving from Arlington to DC and want to maintain the amenities I have now but can’t tour in-person. 2 bedroom, if that matters

Any investment ideas outside of the stock market? Considering farmland but wondering about other options
