I guess it might depend on the firm, BCG has moonlighting policy which makes it possible unless there’s a conflict of interest or if you’re doing it during your working hours (in any case you probably won’t have much time for that aside from the weekends).

Ah I see. That makes sense.

Generally it's dont ask don't tell policy unless it's effecting your work

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%.

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?
