Why is it that banking has a much broader range of firms than consulting? Seems like there are over 10 solid firms with great exit ops but in consulting people only case about mbb?

People don’t only care about MBB… there are tons of non-MBB firms that perform better in domains than MBB.

Obviously MBB is prestigious but there’s tons of other amazing firms that do great things.

Example:
Accenture — technology
LEK — life sciences
Deloitte —
Roland Berger — strategy

Banks are customer facing, while consulting offers professional services (ie our customer are other firms). Larger customer base, large market size, better opportunity for new firms.

Why does OP have to do it?

Here we go:

1. Goldman Sach
2. Morgan Stanley
3. Credit Suisse
4. Deutsche Banke
5. Barclays
6. JP Morgan
7. Citi
8. Wells Fargo
9. Bank of America
10. UBS

Those are just the ones with a balance sheet. But if you want prestige you've still got Lazard, Evercore, Guggenheim. And even the non-bulge less prestigious ones have clients that are in charge of making decisions at the level or whether or not to buy and sell entire corporations.
