Consultants at Strategy& and Parthenon don’t follow your usual Big 4 pay grades (A1, A2, S1...etc) like their Advisory counterparts btw.

What type of exit opps you’re looking for? If it’s to land a job at MBB then yes, Strategy& and Parthenon is gonna boost your chances compared to transaction banking.

If you’re comparing traditional Big 4 advisory and transactional banking, neither will get you close to MBB unless you decide to do your postgrad at a target MBA program and join their graduate associate schemes.
