On the flip side, I came from Accenture and i didn’t feel like I was viewed as any less qualified than any other consulting firm when I exited to BizOps. For non-ex-MBB hiring managers, I feel as if they view Consulting as all the same bucket.

Yep agree with both above ^- find it equally hard on internal consulting (BizOps) type stuff

Ditto above points...MBB doesn’t mean much to tech hiring managers, especially on PM type roles. Might be different for internal consulting roles.

I’m at a big tech strategy team and I have tried to recruit from MBB. The biggest challenge honestly is compensation, we can’t really offer above current MBB comp, so they have to be willing to take a small pay cut in exchange for better work life balance

Prob easier to exit into tech/tech adjacent roles since you have more opportunities to build hard skills in B4 tech consulting.

*easier for B4 to exit into tech/tech adjacent roles compared to MBB

Do you continue to see in-flight interview processes through once you’ve received and accepted an offer? It feels premature to cut the chord on the others, but also the decision between the companies becomes harder. Also afraid of the possibility to go back on the acceptance of the one role in favor of another.
