Would anyone that has moved from Big 4 to MBB be willing to chat for 15-30 minutes? I’m hitting a point where I am enjoying consulting (advisory) but I’m not sure the idea of narrowing in on a specific industry and exact skillset appeals to me. Seems like MBB is broader and I’m curious (also not assuming I could even get in, but I want to explore the option).

Not to discourage you from looking elsewhere if that's what right for you, but I'm am M and I barely have an industry designation. Whoever is trying to force you into an industry is probably well intentioned but you don't HAVE to do it to be relatively successful.

It is true that you will have to choose to make partner, but that's not something I'm interested in.

You will get specialized in any firm the more senior you get. Clients pay for expertise vs smart generalists. That sits with Partners and Expert career track people within MBB. Junior staff are expected to build functional or industry expertise over time. All 3 firms are sold out and hiring like crazy so you should apply if interested. You should just expect a similar specialization push(albeit on strategy topics)

Maybe but I’m not even two years in. I’ve literally been on two client engagements

Go to tech!!
