MBB folks, would a high performer (early promotion, demonstrated project results) from a T2 firm (ATK,OW,LEK) have a decent shot at transitioning to MBB? If so, what path would you recommend (online applying, networking through LinkedIn, etc)?
Thank you!

Judging by the EY bowl, MBB is about to get an influx of applications from EY “high performers” that are upset their $2k raises have been taken away this year to avoid layoffs.

Lol I am fully utilized / not “riding the bench” and working in a field with a negative unemployment rate at the moment (Cybersecurity), I just think it’s funny all these self-proclaimed ‘high performers’ working at one of the less prestigious B4 firms are salty about not getting EY’s notoriously low bonus this year when the alternative is layoffs.

Im in the same boat. But I feel like its a better option to wait and move at an associate level
Am I wrong?

Networking if you can. Referral system works best. And T2 firms that you mentioned often switch to MBB from what I’ve heard

You might lose one level, but I used to see a lot of movement. If you want to be sure, go for an MBA at a target school and get in via campus hire, but should not be required coming from T2.

Probably hard at the moment. Networking route

Hi all, I’d love to hear from PR/Comms folks about the process of transitioning from agency to an in-house role. What kind of chance does a PR pro with ~7 years of solid experience across CPG and hospitality brands, including a mix of global agency work and smaller boutique firms, have at going in house? Do you typically need more experience before going in house? Would be great to hear about various experiences from those that have made the transition. Thanks!
