Big 4 Advisory to MBB Post-MBA

Question: How likely is it to...

  1. Work in Big 4 Advisory (Management Consulting in Operations) post-MBA for 2-3 years
  2. Pivot to a Strategy Consulting role at MBB?

Thanks for your input.

Following up with a bump.

Again, my question applies to a post-MBA role. Can you make the switch to MBB if you're doing Advisory in the Big 4 immediately post-MBA?

 

Yes, is it likely to come in as Manager at MBB if you work in Big 4 Advisory Consulting at the post-MBA level? The bulk of the Big 4 work would be in Implementation and Operations
