McKinsey & Company Bain & Company Would you ever choose a B4 over MBB?
I mean, MBB is obviously much more prestigious, but also much more work and effort. Thoughts? Especially of who has done both MBB and B4 😉 KPMG Deloitte Accenture EY PwC McKinsey & Company Boston Consulting Group Bain & Company

In consulting, both B4 and MBB will overwork you. If I’ll be overworked anyways, I would 100% take MBB.

I know some people at PwC Mgmt Consulting and S& who work 70+ hours a week during their busiest projects. No matter where you go, it will always depend on your project

I have done M&A at Deloitte and now BCG. Would always pick MBB over B4.
% increase in pay (and prestige) outweighs % increase in work/effort in my opinion

I currently work 2 full time jobs & a pt contractor for 2 years and I’m currently on the verge of burnout and confused on career growth.

I’m professionally excelling in all work areas and have been promoted in all work areas at least once over the past 2 years.
