Hey,

MBB is not going to hire you just because you have certain brand/company on your CV. You probably already know this.

Its good to have a path to MBB, but what matters is that you make the right moves NOW and join the firm which is a better FIT bothways (you and the firm) in terms of:

1. Professional & personal values
2. Role and career aspirations
3. Any risks

Only if you get this right can you perform well, enjoy yourself, learn & do something valuable for your clients. Worrying & planning too much for the future will make you miss what your really must focus on in the present.  So, based on the interview experience and your own research which one is a better fit for you?

Good luck choosing and congrats!

Hi there, 

Knowing lots of people working in these firms in the region, I'd say the differences are not really relevant because they are quite small. 

I'd rather try to think which of the two firms can amplify your specific value proposition over the coming two years so you can make the transition in MBB easier. 

Also, worth remembering that it's very difficult to make the transition straight into an EM role for MBB. It's a lot easier to go in as a senior associate and get promoted in six months or so to EM, so perhaps consider that. 

Best,

Cristian

Hello!

Congrats!

As others already pointed out, both are good for that purpose, and picking one or the other is not going to move the needle at all. 

Pick the one that gives you the best feeling, coz it´s important that you thrive where you go 

Cheers,

Hi their,

Neither and both. At this tier, MBB is going to care a lot more about your over resume/career progression, expertise/specialty, connections/networking, etc.

Pick the firm that you think you will do best in (i.e. learn the most, enjoy the most, progress the most in, etc.). 

Tactically, it would be easier to achieve a lateral movement i.e. Move as an EM to MBB while you are already an EM at either of the two firms. That said, you should look at the two firms and try identify which one would give you that career progression

Kearney for public sector. culture at s& is questionable to say the least
