Does the company tier really matter?
As long as you're making money, it shouldn't matter, right? The story: One of my friends was campus-placed last year in MBB. They recently resigned and accepted an offer in a boutique consultancy, with a ~20ish per cent hike. However, they were met with a lot of criticism, from our peers and even professors. I personally believe that they made the right decision as they disliked the CoE they were allotted to. And they were able to get a hike and do a good job in this market. Experienced folks, shadow your wisdom upon me. Am I thinking from a very limited perspective?
Money over everything. Brand is good to have but definitely not greater than money
Your peers are evil and your professors are poor so their opinion doesn't matter.
Not everyone can make partner so it's better to exit early then suffer at the manager level and seek better opportunities
