Generally speaking, there are differences in pay, average exit opportunity, and “sexiness of work” between MBB, “T2”, and B4.

Important caveats are:
1. No one agrees on definition of T2
2. Key word is “Average” exit opportunity. MANY examples exist of B4 getting better exit opportunities than “T2” or MBB
3. “Sexiness of work” is incredibly subjective and variable. I wouldn’t prioritize on this basis

Any of these firms get your foot in the door for the vast majority of exit opps / future career paths. The rest is up to you.

Big 4 are accounting firms with consulting arms (save KPMG). They’re not strat houses

Curious to know the other possibilities knowing that T2 means they have to be 2nd in the order

So strat house tiers are just mbb and t2 - whos in t2

EYP and s& are definitely T2…not really a debate. S& pay scale is on par with MBB and there’s a lot of pure strategy work (at least in US market) still done with longer term implementation / PMO work taken by PwC.

Plan to go to B-school in 3 years (1 year out of UG now). Long term goal is entrepreneurship. Have offers at a MBB firm for a generalist consultant role and at FAANG for a strategy role. FAANG offer is slightly higher (though both are a 50+% bump on my current comp). Both would have me reset to entry level. Which one should I take?

I have been offered a position at a non-US B4 with a 2 year path to partner. I know one of the partners at the local firm and have the support of the regional service line lead, and am bringing a specialized skill set they are trying to open a new business around. The KPIs seem achievable and I’ll be in charm school to help build support within that timeline. Most of me thinks a 2 year path under these circumstances realistic but my inner skeptic is jaded. Anything I might have missed?
