If yes to my question, what are the advance preparations one should do to be 1) MBB ready and 2) MBB interview ready?
Thank you, this makes sense. Appreciate the promptness.
Is it possible to transition from a Big 4 to an MBB firm at a principal/ associate partner level?

Hi,
It is actually, I would be more positive on the Associate Partner level rather than Partner/Senior Partner.
The preparation should be the same (e.g., case in points, victor cheng, ...). The only difference are the fit questions (it is highly probable that you would be asked with reference to your previous experiences) and the "quality" of case resolution (e.g., from an AP I would expect more precision, sense of numbers and insights in the decision-making process than from a BA)
Hope you would find it useful!

Hi,
Yes, there are such cases. You need to have something as a selling point:
- Client relationship
- Deep expertise in a particular industry
- Deep expertise in a particular function (e.g. Digital is very hot topic now)
If you have it - everything else is less important at this level
