Started working in finance at an MBB recently and just got an offer for a strategy role at Disney. My plans were to leave the finance function to do consulting at an MBB for a few years and then get my MBA. Is it worth leaving MBB finance to do strategy work at Disney?

heard it's a big deal especially at Disney - know anymore info on why Disney in particular?

Very difficult to move from internal role to a client facing role.

I’d move to Disney strategy. Very exciting role. Congratulations!

Is moving from internal T&D to external consulting side difficult as well at McK?

Yes. Leave. Your exits will be better. Beyond going straight to an MBB exit directly, it may be easier to get into an mba program (you won't be the 1000th person from consulting applying), and it is easier to go to MBB strategy from a fortune 100 strategy role than an MBB internal finance role.

Will pile on. Go to Disney. Really hard to do internal —> consulting role at MBB without getting MBA in between

Disney. I reckon it would be easier to jump from Disney strategy to MBB consulting than it would internal MBB finance to MBB consulting.

Go to Disney! Agree with all the abovr

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate. That was 1.5 years ago and I am still in the limbo of juggling my own workload + doing assistant roles for my supervisors. I have also had no increase in pay, which is a huge deal for me. Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?
