^@Deloitte1 why did you switch firms if I may ask?

Much better opportunities compared to former smaller firm where I worked nearly 10 years. A few of us moved over at the same time.

Joined at 25 as an associate out of business school, now 30 and up for partner in the fall.

^McK which MBA school did you go to? That's awesome

Thanks everyone else for the responses!

McK1, damn, you won. What was your undergrad school, & first internship/job out of that?

Hi all- My SO is currently at a Big4 & was initially preparing for S&O roles at GCP but given the high number of ex MBB consultants hired, they believe its just more competition to get the offer & to eventually get promoted over time.

Instead, they have decided to pursue program manager or cloud consultant roles, which they feel might have a lower barrier to entry from an assessment standpoint. Not sure if the bowl agrees but would like to get your thoughts, thanks!
