Is this U.S. or international?
Went Big 4 CF to MM. Found it to be a bit of an uphill battle with how MMs and MM boutiques viewed my understanding of process compared to others. But, overall, had enough deal experience and process experience to communicate in interviews. It's easiest at the analyst level and gets progressively harder IMO.
I would caveat the fact that certain groups (DCF) are competing and winning mandates against MMs and Tier 2/3 middle market groups, so the perception is also different based on what group/firm.
