Most of the ones I know come back to MBB - the allure of free b school is hard to pass up. But of the ones who don’t, the usual mix (depending on school) of PE/HF/tech/startup

Kind of whatever they want. I plan on coming back for two years and then exiting to corporate strategy in an industry of interest.

Hello Partners, I’m currently a SC at D and started my career here - but went to a third tier MBA school.

Or will someone who went to a top 10 college have a leg up? Would like to hear your thoughts, thanks in advance!

I’m convinced that the reason some of these firms are so prestigious is because they have intentionally exclusionary recruitment practices. I used to believe that you had to already be rich to get hired at MBB. Now being on the other side of the recruitment process , I really do feel that it rings true. I hate the way we evaluate candidates and decide on who is “high priority” during coffee chats.

Is the exit opportunity of MBB that much bette than tier 2?

This felt so wrong. Can't figure out if they hired someone prior and were just messing with me? Can I do something here?
