I don’t see it as that strange. We have lots of people with 8 years of work experience joining as associates (including me, when I joined). The trajectory is far steeper than many other places - so you’ll outpacing yourself in a few years and then way ahead. The value of the brand and network here is huge. Exit potential is similarly greater.
I have a friend who went from M3 at D to Associate at Mck. He worked for 2 years and join strat house at a top FMCG company .... something that wouldnt hv possible without mck supprt system or being in D
To each his own, but nt a bad choice as I wud see !
He left Mck as a EM
This is such an ill-advised idea.
Why?
Big 4 manager is more or less equivalent to MBB consultant in terms of number of people reporting into you etc. It’s not that far a jump
But in terms of prestige and pay...
Why on Earth are they considering it? Are they glamorizing the lifestyle. Are they struck by $$$ or earning potential? Sometime the grass is greener on the other side. Show them your FB app and let their eyes be wide open before they decide to walk up into this hot mess.
He’s enamored by the brand. I get it - great brand equity. He just got his PT MBA and got sucked in the MBB mania. But his work experience is phenomenal already. Why would anyone want to restart the clock and get slotted straight to the bottom of the totem pole? Pay is exactly the same for Assoc role, lol, but future earning potential is likely a bit higher. But is it really worth it? Imagine going from being the man in the room to being an excel monkey again 🤦🏽♂️
SC1 I mean if you get it from Kellogg, I’m sure it can but even just getting a referral here and being at a good firm can get you that interview at MBB.
I agree with BCG1 - I’ll advised idea for sure. What value do you get by demoting yourself just for a better brand? I know people who’ve gone from Deloitte, Accn and IBM to amazing places
Is it strategy offering?
It’s ridiculous!!!! Yeah, strat/generalist.
same TC, why no go for mbb? It’s MBB isn’t it?
It is insane because MBB is not > Harvard
