Would I be dumb to try to jump from Big4 to MBB with < 1 year of tenure out of business school?

Probably the best time. You'll down level to right after MBA, which is where you are now anyways; and at least one of the MBBs is very busy right now, so probably a good time to try to join.

Many from business schools end up at Big 4 because they couldn't get into a MBB. If you have the opportunity to head back to MBB, you should. Earlier the better.

Most MBB won’t consider you application until you have at least 1 YOE after business school

It is MBB for a reason.

I jumped from Big 4 to MBB with <1 year out of undergrad. Certainly possible. Can't imagine it'd be a different story out of MBA.

I’ve been ghosted after every final interview during my recent job search, but never had I been ghosted before even having the first call??

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?
