Based on the WSO threads, lateraling from Accenture Strategy to MBB (McKinsey, Bain, BCG) is possible but challenging, especially at the analyst level. Strategy analysts at Accenture have turned down offers from Tier 2 competitors, but moves to MBB are less common and typically seen as having limited benefit unless you're aiming for a significant career shift or specific opportunities that MBB uniquely offers. Most commonly, Strategy Managers at Accenture who move to MBB tend to step back into a post-MBA level role, such as Consultant or Associate. This suggests that while the lateral move is feasible, it often involves strategic career planning and possibly accepting a role equivalent or slightly lower than one's current level to enter the MBB space.
