Ernst & Young - Commercial Due Diligence/Commercial Advisory Services vs Big 4 - Strategy & Operations

I have my bachelors from a top 3 engineering college (MBB Target School) and MBA from a top 7 B-School (MBB Non-Target School) in an emerging economy. I have worked with the strategy team of the largest private company in my country for an year post MBA post which i am planning to move to EY-CDD team. I wanted to know how this compares to the S&O practice of EY/KPMG/Deloitte/PwC. Is there a possibility to move to MBB in the future considering i work for this profile for a few years and what is my best chance to get there. I have heard that some people have moved from EY CDD to McKinsey PE group after working for 5-6 years. Also, is CDD considered a BO or FO?
