Hey there,
MBB is definitely open to very senior hires as long as you bring the necessary
- leadership experience
- network
- expertise
You really need to show that you peak in all of those dimensions to add value at a later stage of your career.
The best way to approach this would be to talk to senior leaders in the MBB you would be interested to work for. You might know them from previous engagements at your company, from your network, university, etc. Talk to them about your expectations, get their input, and then decide how you would like to proceed.
However, be prepared to encounter a huge cultural shock. I have seen this with several senior people that joined later in their career and had difficulties adjusting to the way of working, the pace, and the culture of an MBB, which is all quite different from what they were used to. It is generally easier for juniors since they have little work experience and more easily adjust in that regard.
All the best,
Florian
