MBB research back office vs Big 4 consulting front
Hi there,
I am an undergrad at a semi-target school and was offered internships at Big 4 Consulting and MBB Research (think McK Knowledge, BCG DRS). I assume that MBB has a better brand but the role is back-office, whereas the Big 4 internship is client-facing front-office.
I also want to note that the Big 4 role is within the Management Consulting arm and is not the strategy arm like Strategy& and EY-Parthenon.
I plan to apply for front-office consulting roles in MBB and Tier 2 next year. Which one would put me in a better position?
Front office will put you in a better position I’d imagine because the work will be more transferable
B4 with zero hesitation
Strong big 4
MBB only has brand recognition in consulting IF you are doing the consulting itself. Big 4 would be the no-brainer here, without question, unless you want to have a career in research/library science instead of consulting.
