Working for MBB is completely different than internal consulting ...I feel you need to think this thru in more detail about what you want in your career/life

like

OP, unless you want to be a partner in consulting, I would go with tech. Brand wise, LinkedIn/Dropbox will serve you better if you want to stay in tech. If not, MBB is a better option. You need to know if you want to be in the industry, and which one.

like

MBB then LinkedIn/DropBox -> will only lead to more opportunities later on

What if have offers from both but you risk pissing off Linkedin/Dropbox with not going through and hence not re recruiting in.

think about what kind of work you want to do... even if just for a second

Both are internal strategy/bizops roles. So I would imagine it's similair?

dont be internal at mbb

Apologies I meant Internal roles at the Tech companies. MBB would be external roles.

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)

Is it easy to get into either of MBB in another country, let’s say Russia or UAE, with a degree from a US non-target yet good school? I would assume a US degree will be much more coveted than any local degree. I can work in either countries as well as US, and I would love to leverage that to get ‘MBB’ on my resume if that can be pulled off lol I’m not sure if the quality of experience will be the same.

Help please!!!

Strategy & Ops at large tech company (non-FAANG) - 120K TC (San Francisco)

Rotational Program at Industrial Firm - 170K TC (Chicago)

Industrial Company:
- Would pay for grad school
- Comp is insane
- Work is more niche
- Company culture is rough
- MBB / tech exit
- smaller less known company

Tech Company:
- Cool company
- well known
- Enter tech early on
- Salary lower than other by a lot
- PM / Biz Ops exits

Both companies have good MBA placement. What would you do?
