Big 4 Advisory to MBB
Currently getting atarted as an on campus hire in financial risk consulting with KPMG. While I plan to value my time here and make the most of it, MBB is my goal down the road. Is there a reasonable chance of exiting to MBB after say several years, or would it require an MBA degree at a top program to end up at one of the MBB firms? appreciate any responses
Possible but difficult without MBA if you're not already in strat/ops. Big 4 audit -> top 10 MBA -> MBB is very common path though
Big 4 is dogshit, you would need a top MBA program to transfer in
Well, a good idea for you would be to transition to a strategy team at big 4. The more recognizable ones are Strategy& PwC and Deloitte Strategy. From there, it is pretty common to make a jump to MBB without an MBA.
For the most part this is almost harder than moving to a different firm's strategy team from what I've gathered from poets&quant
^That's what I've seen and what I've heard as well. If it wasn't improbable to do so, everyone would use advisory as a stepping stone to get to consulting. Not good for morale. They want to hire people who want to be on that team, not people looking for a pump and dump.
