The kind of person that tops out the SWE ladder at FAANG isn't the kind of person that makes senior partner at MBB and vice versa. This kind of comparison isn't meaningful to 99.9999% of people....
If you're a doer - tech. If you're a talker - consulting.
For me the advantage of tech is that you create value and execute - taking a project from start to finish. In consulting, you only deal with the start and you have zero hands-on experience or opportunities to acquire execution skills.
Not sure what role is offered in MBB and what stage you are at in your career, if it’s tech role NEVER go to MBB. Work is not equivalent to FANG but it’s not bad either and ton shit of oldies will never let you move up the ladder. All they wanna do is hang out, do blah blah and politics
