MBBD

MBB might give a small premium, but all name brand firms (ACN, T2, B4) will do just fine. A lot will depend on the type of role you are looking for and your non-consulting tool kit. Heck, in many cases you working on digital marketing infrastructure projects on a Acn/B4 would actually be MORE valuable than MBB.

The tech giants are enormous now and have plenty of alum from pretty much all firms. I would even wager the Toronto offices of big tech have more B4 alum than MBB alum. Yes yes, I know there's a sample bias given smaller MBB operations in Canada but my point still holds.

MBB

What role do you want in big tech? MBB is the answer to your question if it has to be consulting but if you want to be a big tech PM for example there are better routes outside consulting.

Thanks for your response, totally makes sense!

Big 4 / ACN tech consulting is major feeder to FAANG.

I’ve done PI work my entire career for over 10 years. I’ve worked in state and federal courts and I’ve traveled around the country doing MDL work and bellwether trials. I’ve had a lot of success making the idiots I’ve worked for wealthy, but I’m still waiting for a moment where I enjoy what I’m doing. I feel stuck working in dysfunctional plaintiff firms/cultures. I hate this profession/career more and more each year. Has anybody been successful breaking off on their own in recent years? Advice?

Hi Fellow Fishes! I need some urgent advice. I had accepted a job offer at a really good company with a good role and team. I am due to start that new job on Monday 30th Aug. Now the thing is I have a better job offer from one of my dream companies-i would be really stupid not to take that offer. So I would be declining the job at the first company just 2 days before i am supposed to start! I know its a good problem to have but a very unpleasant conversation with them. How do i soften the blow?
