Should I switch to consulting?
I'm currently an mba IB associate and starting to realize that I miss my weekends. I'd love to join a Hedge fund but not sure how realistic it is. And I look at the seniors in my group and see that they're schedule doesn't seem to get better. If I'm going to end up leaving for corp dev or Strat anyway, am I better off switching to consulting? Consultants get all the better exits and have time to see friends and family.
Corp dev is probably easier to get as a banker and Corp strategy usually is easier for consultants to get (although I've seen hybrid dev/strat jobs but it's usually filled by experienced associates/young VPs).
Switching post MBA IB to management consulting is doable. I've seen it frequently on LinkedIn (grads ranging from M7 to T25 programs). Usually it's some boutique consulting firm focused on a specific industry. Most people however go straight to a corporate exit a year/two out of an MBA if they don't want to stay in banking.
I know multiple people who have moved from BB/IB post-mba to MBB so that's certainly possible too. Start talking to your classmates at the places you'd like to go and then take it from there.
True but I'd say non-MBB consulting is more common. I'm also not at a M7/T10 school where that may be more likely. My school does have a few MBB placements every year but nothing like the M7.
Hard to speculate but was referring to a traditionally finance-focused M7 (Booth/CBS)
Would t2 still be worth switching or would I be better off in banking?
So it depends. I only know as per HC, there is a handful of non-MBB consulting firms that do great work (T2 specifically but some Big 4 groups are solid too). I'm not too familiar with the broad spectrum of the consulting firms and their other practices.
