Would you jump from Big 4 client facing consulting to internal MBB for relatively same pay?

No, unless you hate your job right now, I wouldn't leave unless it was a significant pay increase

No. Mbb Client facing roles are where the prestige and exits come from, not internal roles. Joining mbb back office with the hopes of transferring to Client facing consulting seems unlikely to work too.

I appreciate this

What do you define as back office? Some would say the solutions path but I’d say more like finance or marketing is back office

Only if you really hate client work. Even then, it'd probably be wiser to exit to industry in a terminal low-stress role. I imagine most supporting functions at MBB aren't exactly chill jobs.
