Would I struggle if I transfer to MBB from a non-quant tech role at Big 4? Do they provide adequate training or do I have to learn in advance? How do the deliverables compare to Big 4 strategy/work?

Depends at what level you’re transferring at - consultant, you should be able to ramp up, great trainings etc.

PL and above, gets increasingly tougher (not due to to lack of trainings, but due to not having really done the job of those you’re now managing, not knowing how the firm really does things etc). Still possible of course just tougher.

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)
