Potential opp to jump from client-facing risk consulting role at Big 4 to internal risk consulting role at MBB.

I like client facing work - new projects, travel etc. - but new role would likely be better hours and more pay (20-30%). Probably wouldn’t be long term either, possible to move to client facing at MBB?

Would you jump?

I'd do it - get the experience the name brand. Worst case scenario you go back to a Big4 making more.

I’d do it if you like the new job, not for exit opps. Internal at MBB is an exit opp.

Moving to consulting from an internal/support role isn’t that easy, and recruiters in industry can distinguish between an MBB client-facing role and an MBB internal role. You may get a bit of a brand name but it’s not exactly the same.

These were my concerns exactly. The role sounds interesting and aligned with my experience, but not something I’d want to do for the rest of my career.
I don’t think it’s easy to go from internal role in Big 4 to client facing, I figured it would be just as hard at MBB. I’d think/hope Big 4 would still be an exit op from MBB, at least at my current firm.

Really depends on the type of internal role. If it’s something akin to corporate strategy / development and working on Board level strategic priorities I think it can be a huge plus for exit opps. You get the consulting background plus general mgmt toolkit for industry.

Is that an in-house risk function rather than consulting?

I’d do it. Functionally you still have the same expertise the difference is at MBB you may secure interviews to move back to consulting which will be a big jump for you assuming that’s what you want.
