Marakon offer: a respectable way to break into the industry and begin my career?

Looking for some advice. .

Should I consider an offer from Marakon, given that I have been unsuccessful in securing an offer from MBB? How is their reputation these days? Exit opps?

I have some opportunities to think about moving into industry or economic consulting, but MC is really appealing to me for this stage in my career (post-UG). Is Marakon a respectable way to break into the industry and begin my career?

Thanks for your thoughts.

They took a huge hit when their combination financial advisory firm/MC firm died...there's definitely a thread on it somewhere.

It's better than nothing, but it's probably too soon to see how a new hire in the new Marakon does for exit opps.
