Tenured Ms that have gone from tier 2/big 4/ACN to MBB laterally (yes this is happening now) - have you noticed any significantly better exit opps coming through or differences in what recruiters are reaching out for? Curious about this.

Is it possible to lateral as an M?

Yes got an offer to lateral as an EM with 8YOE

About to go to MBB and those I've networked with have said the quantity and quality of exit opps are night and day.

That being said if you don't perform well once you're in the interview stage, no one will cut you slack just bc you're from MBB, but your likelihood of getting invited to interview is significantly higher.

Depends where you're headed. certain industries cast a certain lens (e.g., private equity) that has a heavy slant for mbb

This is interesting. What if the goal is just tech or startups? I’m already getting pretty good exit offers ($270-$300k TC type deals) so wondering how MBB would change things. Maybe add on an extra $50-100k after another 1-2 years at M level there?

At 10 YOE and limited interest in PE. Perhaps interested in areas like VC which i guess would also be MBB heavy. But most likely interested in tech or trendy startups.

What’s the best way to turn down a 2nd interview? During the 1st interview, I learned that the compensation for the role is not within the range that I am looking for and requires 400 more billable hours a year than what I bill now. I’d basically be laterally for my current salary just to bill 400 more hours. I also wasn’t aware that the local office was strictly ID. Firm website advertises lots of practice areas. Any advice? TIA!
