Hi Anonymous,

congratulations for you offer. In general terms, Monitor Deloitte is below OW, RB, ATK in Europe as for prestige. If you are in Europe and manage to get another offer from one of the previous mentioned firms, this can thus improve your exit opportunities. Having said that I would double check on LinkedIn what are the exit opportunities from Monitor in your specific country for its alumni – there could be regional differences and Monitor may have created a strong niche in one area interesting for you, thus making its offer more attractive than competitors.

Best,

Mixed opinions regarding exit opps I see..Would EY-Parthenon or Strategy& be better options than Monitor Deloitte?

Hi,

It's kind of out of the coverage in the recent years.

Since the brand was less known and is even less known in the recent years, I believe the exit opportunities (internal strategy at big firms, good MBAs) will be more limited.

As for 90% strategy - I think it's a myth. Another myth is that strategic projects are better in terms of experience and opportunities.

I'll follow your advice then. Suppose I join MBB after 1 year, would it be at entry level? Or can I expect to join as 2nd year consultant?

Yes, would definitely think so. For MBA actually you might be in a slightly better position given that there are less people applying from Monitor than there are from MBB (although there are a lot of people from Deloitte). IMHO, if you do not have any other offers on table, take it, stay a year, reapply to MBB.

Hope it helps,

Andrea

Thanks for your reply Andrea. Although not as prestigious as other T2, can I still hope to join "sexy" companies/MBAs after Monitor (like GAFAs, Ivy League MBA, etc.)?
