Worth it

Well worth it, even at Manager/SM grade it’d be worth jumping to analyst at MBB given less than 2-years later you’ll be earning as much as a D at big4

like

5 YOE since grad, jumped around no missed promotions. I’d like to work at MBB but have struggled to get anywhere with applications

Defo worth it

My dream

Absolute no brainer. Surely you’d be on more pay anyway as Entry level MBB

Go for it

Just do it, I have a couple of friends that did (and I referred one) and they haven’t looked back
