Say 2YOE in risk at big 4. Want to switch to MBB. Should I apply for business analyst or senior business analyst or if I apply for business analyst, would they bump me up

In risk.. advisor?? If so, not sure how far you’d get in getting into MBB

You will likely get placed what best suits your performance. Probably better to aim lower, get an offer and then have a discussion if you should be placed more senior

What position to you apply for at BCG

I was in BR at Deloitte with MBB aspirations. It wasn't easy by any means. Took a long long time to get there, but totally worth it! I would say going to b-school (top 15) is the way to go. Longer way but higher likelihood of making it.

I can tell you that coming into my senior year of undergrad, I placed all my stock in risk consulting. After two back to back co-op/internships in the field, I realized I had 0 desire to do risk work. So, I reneged a Big4 offer, got myself blacklisted, received dozens of rejections from other companies, and went to work at a no name tech implementation firm’s strategy arm. Most saw it as a huge step down from “Big 4”.

However, I spent two years casing and tailoring my experiences for MBB to the best of my ability.

It worked, hence my above comment.

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.
