Post-MBA @MBB. I want to quit at a year mark. Does anyone have any data points on how the market is for people my tenure, what jobs can I expect, salary hits, etc?

What do you want to do?? Salary hit on quitting is -100% (+/- 0)

Very doable. Left non MBB, post MBA in a little over a year for an opportunity with base + bonus of $215k that offers excellent WLB (45-50 hr weeks)

M1 please share your exit. Tier 1 city?

1. It’s totally doable, and whether time at BCG matters to the company will depend on how many BCGers or other consultants are at the company (and how traditional the role is)

2. Will also depend on your personal background (what degree, what school, etc.)

2b. Based on their background I know people who’ve left with a pay cut and people who left as an early to mid C2 and landed a 290k gig. This early, I think it depends a lot on you.

I wouldn’t mind trading down 10-20% for better wlb (165k base, 200k w/ bonus)

My 2 cents. 1 year is short and you may regret. If you can hang on at least 2 years you will benefit more from learning etc

Thank you!

Do you feel like the mba was worth it if you are going to leave after a year??

Wow all power to you! I don’t expect any scholarship to schools that recruit regularly at mbb (top 12). Going to have to do a long haul probably to make up for the loans

How bad of a wlb are we talking about here? There's plenty of shitty wlb in industry too.

But as BCG2 mentioned, will also depend on background and pre-MBA experience

did you have direct pre mba exp and for How long?

PM me if you are in SF / open to relocating to SF.

No salary hit required

Yes we are

Same boat looking for an opportunity after 1 year mark...ideally in Austin, TX
