I did most of my MC recruiting in the US. TBH in the US now, the gulf between some of the big 4 firms and
MBB have been narrowing for years. There is no difference in compensation (in fact, I think Deloitte is higher) and the exits are equally strong (barring PE/HF, an
MBB prestige would be useful).
Unfortunately, I did not do any MC recruiting in sg. I highly doubt I would enter any of the
MBB in singapore anyway as I heard that each
MBB takes in less than 5. Those that do make it, their CVs are bloody insane.
For me the real fear is how do I transition and sell myself to Singapore recruiters in the future (would I have to take a massive paycut, since in 2-3 years time, I will probably make 3-4 times what a local big 4 MC candidate is getting paid)? Alternatively, I was thinking of exiting into industry before moving back to back to Singapore. Depending on what sector I do get rotated into, I could exit into a fortune 500 and then move back to Singapore at middle management level. What do you guys think, am I looking to far into the future?? I'm driving myself insane atm.
