Up for manager this cycle in big 4 deals (fdd & data analytics). Currently part-time MBA (top 20).
Got a verbal offer from OW senior consultant level (CDD & ODD type projects). Is this worth to step back (both title and salary) to break into consulting? (i am interested in PE exit) I would like to pivot to post-mba associate roles in MBB or other tier2. Should i just stay and apply with manager title? In terms or salary - it will be ~50K ish low.

What’s the comp like for OW senior consultant?

Just DM’d you

I made a not so similar but comparable transition. Big four IT -> tier 2 CDD -> MBB. Your thoughts are absolutely right. It’s a right path, and short term there is a lot of pain. (I have ex-colleagues who come from FDD, advisory, all kinds of big four positions) It’s a lot of things to learn and unlearn and salary decrease would make you feel even more miserable. But longer term wise, if it’s a path you firmly believe in, and your ultimate goal isn’t big four PPMD, then make the move - the path is viable.

I just don’t understand why we have the illusion of “choice” if the offer is the same and it is really bad (in our case).
Going from $61 per paycheck for 2.5k deductible 75% copay to $500+ per paycheck with 500 deductible 85% copay.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
