Bain & Company My goal is to transition from Big 4 to MBB before potentially opening up my own shop or joining a startup. Do the MBB exit opportunities exist from big 4? Especially with no top tier MBA but an MHA degree, what are my options? Deloitte KPMG EY PwC Accenture Bain & Company McKinsey & Company Boston Consulting Group

Why? I love my firm, but why is MBB an important stop on this journey?

If your goal is to open your own shop no one is going to care about the branding.

The prestige difference between MBB and Big 4 is tiny except inside consulting and the industries that recruit a lot directly from the consulting pipeline. The difference between “I was a consultant” and “I was an MBB consultant” to most people outside consulting is minuscule — certainly not worth 5 years of your life.

It’s possible. But it would have to be some very specialized and niche skill set that the MBB practice is looking to further augment / build out. And you would have to make it through recruiting (cases etc)

like

MHA?

I think PhD and MD would be more useful degrees in the life science sector.

I think before opening shop MBB exposes you appropriately. I guess personal branding to leverage in a new space

likefunny

If your MHA is from a top school, MBB isn’t going to make that much of a difference in the startup world. Obviously feel free to go for it if you think the experience will be valuable, but the experience you would gain working at an early stage startup or starting up your own company a few years earlier would be more relevant and valuable to what you’re trying to do imo.

You seem confused, OP

BCG is massively sold out. If you can do the work you’ll get an offer in 2 weeks for a start immediately.

Do you need to live near a BCG office, or are they relaxing that policy these days?

Hi Fishes, Have a query. My spouse is working in the electrical and electronics field for the last 15years, in various GCC countries.

What is your opinion if he takes a DevOps course and do a career change ? What will be the % of getting interviews ? Even if he gets selected, how much will he get?

I spent a year in tax investigations where I believe I was thriving ( I was going to be an assistant manager in July 2023), I had a lot of assistant manager jobs, I even drafted a Code 9 report to HMRC which my manager said was 80% of an actual report, he then added the 20% and submitted it.
After I realised I couldn't maintain all the unpaid overtime I was working I decided to take a turn and go to compliance, so now I work in CT compliance. I feel very surpressed.
