Career suicide
I have an internship offer from TikTok within their e-commerce business. I am wondering if it is possible to move from this role into strategy consulting (MBB) FT or if taking this offer is closing doors.

Career Resources
Why would that be the case? At Bain at least, we're definitely pro experienced hires (granted not right this instant, but that's downturn-driven)
As an FYI, the chief of staff of TikTok UK is ex-Bain if you want to talk to someone there about MBB.
I am worried that I would struggle to compete for MBB grad roles with this internship compared to something in consulting or banking. Can you shed some light on this?
I went to check out our new grad hires quickly before responding, since most of the people I know are experienced hires like myself.
Short answer
I'ts not that TikTok / other corporates would hurt your chances, more than that consulting / B4 / IB / PE will help you prep more for the interviews. TikTok is a top firm in its field and a well-recognised brand name. So, it'd be about you passing the online tests + passing the interviews (which are CV blind for us anyway)
