Switching from EYP to MBB could potentially offer more exit opportunities and international exposure, as MBB firms are highly recognized globally. However, it's important to consider that you might have to start at the same role, even after your promotion at EYP. Lateral hires at the associate level are not very common, but it's not unheard of. Also, consider the type of work you'll be doing. If you're interested in strategy work, make sure that the role you're applying for at MBB aligns with that interest. Sometimes, even within prestigious firms, the role might involve more implementation work than strategy. Lastly, remember that the prestige of MBB can provide a significant career lift, especially early in your career. But it's also important to consider where you want to be in the future. If you're unsure, the brand name of MBB could be beneficial. In conclusion, it's a decision that requires careful consideration of your career goals, the type of work you want to do, and where you see yourself in the future.

Thanks for your response. Don’t really get your last point, could you please elaborate?

In addition, could you please give some insight into the interview process/style and how it was a disaster? Thanks.
