Right now I would say MBB for job security, FAANG layoffs aren’t done

like

Mbb if you actually want strategy work. Most “StRaTeGy” people at least at google, don’t do a whole lot outside of enforce policy and usually end up way further on the ops side. Unless you’re in a growth team that is.

But if you’re S&O for a delivery org, you’re going to be doing timesheet variance stuff and budgeting. (As an example).

Mbb (faang strategy is a good to have function)

Job security is good in consulting when the downturn hits? Some you young bucks weren’t around for 2008.

BCG learned from its layoffs in the last major recession and I don’t think is eager to make that same choice this go-round.

MBB. FAANG is fine if you want to overindex on tech but it’s less versatile than MBB

Stay MBB, most of FAANG is a sinking boat right now.

FAANG growth,glory and stock increase is done. Find a new FAANG or take MBB.

A year ago everyone would have said FAANG; now everyone will say MBB lol

I am a 3rd year insurance defense attorney with product and premise liability experience. Due to long-COVID, I am likely to lose my job.
