There's probably a Venn diagram with overlap and distinct sides. On the MBB side, it's PE investment team and corporate strategy groups with high concentrations of MBB alums. On the B4 S&A side, I think tech companies prefer folks with more ops experience so B4 S&A might edge out MBB there.

I work in S&O/BizOpps at a tech firm and consultants are largely viewed all the same as long as you're from a recognizable brand. After that point, what's more valuable is your individual experience.

If you just had to choose though, choose MBB unless you know for sure you'll have a good exp at the particular group within the B4. A random exp in MBB > a random exp in a B4... By a far margin

Thanks for that. I definitely fit into the latter half of what you described. I work at a software company and everything is focused on a specific function within GTM - I think the difference is that DD is able to experiment with new products while my company is 100% focused on selling our initial product.

What does a career path look like for someone from DD s&o

Prolly the same depending more on the individuals, with MBB has higher portions of better exits.

I recently left the Army about a year ago. Did a DoD SkillBridge fellowship and accepted the full time offer because I was scared of not having a paycheck. About a year later, still at the company and I hate it. Don’t feel purpose and I’m working with recent college grads as my peers. How do I get a job that takes advantage of my experience, whereas mine currently views me as starting over?

I'm really not sure how badly I want to work for them and I don't want to be laid off months after being hired on. Anyone know what Amazon hiring is like?
