What i have missed if i never applied nor worked for MBB? I am 36 now, never had any interest in MBB so far, but i see how people around praise them so much. Does it mean MBB consultant is better and smarter than me?

MBB is like the Ivy League of consulting, does it mean they are better or smarter?

Not necessarily, there are plenty of extremely smart and successful people who never went Ivy League. That being said, there is a reason they are seen as top tier. Their firms are full of some of the best talent out there, but again that talent came from somewhere. If your happy with your job, comp, and recognition then you’ve missed nothing.

Who’s praising MBB?

Just the opposite the past few years.

like

@M1: I’d argue the reverse. Some image erosion with candidates (2 factors: talent flowing to tech and a more socially conscious generation) while reputation with clients and recruiters remains strong.

@OP: I wouldn’t worry about MBB at your tenure since your professional experience up until now should speak for itself. But I think you know that already.

I don’t care who my employer is if they’re paying me a boat load of $ for just a bachelors

I’m a 9th year in a mostly litigation-based practice group at a one-tier partnership firm.

What’s the best option here if partnership is the ultimate goal? Try to get a NEP/counsel position at another firm, which is likely difficult in my market, or offer to take a class cut by a few years?

I miss music. Like actual bands with instruments and vocal ability. Feels like the music industry is so hollowed out that multi-member instrumental bands like Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, and even Metallica are no longer able to take root.
