Is MBB worth leaving a job you actually like?

Question

I have a job I genuinely like, good manager, decent hours, and solid progression. MBB is still attractive for the learning and brand, but this isn't an escape situation.

How would you think about the tradeoff when the current job is already pretty good?

Mayank G. · Accepted Answer

When your current job is already good, the bar for leaving should be higher. MBB should add something specific enough to justify giving up a situation you already value.

Compare learning rate, type of problems, senior exposure, future options, compensation, lifestyle, and the quality of your current manager.

A prestigious option is not automatically a better option. The question is whether the incremental benefits are worth the real tradeoffs.

This is much harder than leaving a bad job tbh.

good manager + good hours has real value. don't treat it as zero.
