You no longer or a second class citizen. You get to work with bigger companies on a wider variety of topics. You get to be part of a larger organization and benefit from all of the career growth inherent in that

If you prefer the intellectual / higher level / advisory work vs actually getting things done in companies and being accountable for results (which can be a chore and boring for some people) MBB is a very fine career. PE Ops is a pretty different job actually not not for everyone.

First, it depends a lot by team. PE Ops means very different things across different teams, so theres no one abswe. In my experience, MBB is often 80-90% thinking and 10-20% actually doing something that will actually change the trajectory of a company. PE Ops is the opposite. 10-20% to quickly prioritize the few things that will actually move the needle for a company's valuation and 80-90% making sure these things actually happening. Much more working directly with the people who actually get things done in companies (middle managers), much more practical and detailed problem solving of day to day actions needed by people, and a lot more assessing talent and hiring / firing / moving people into the right seats. Much more patience needed and personal accountability of your head being in the chopping block if things dont work out. Much more intellectual honesty as a result (e.g., you don't want to be neither too optimistic nor conservative when analyzing an opportunity) Some people detest the execution part and would rather stay in the strategic area of roughly what needs to be done.

Had an interview with MBB yesterday. They reached out to me. Yet, the woman said "I'm not sure you're eligible since you have military reserve obligations"...brush it off as ignorance? Or move on?

Went from MBB consulting to M&A (mostly sell-side). Considering PE next (either operating or investment). Haven't really worked with sponsors too much. Which firms should I look at?

Interesting to see the Big 4 move up the consulting value chain to offer more strategy like work for lower prices and MBB move down the value chain to offer implementation work at higher prices

How about moving from D in the US to MBB in a developing country? This possible? I ask because the Big4 firms aren't as highly regarded in the locations I want to go (Middle East, Africa, APAC)

Seeking advice: Once you are in a big 4 for MC consulting, is it hard to move up to MBB? If you went to MBA school and then tried recruiting into MBB with Big 4 experience? Thanks in advance.
