From IB (M&A at BBs/EBs) to Consulting (MBB)? (London/Paris)

Hi guys,

Could anyone give me some insights on how hard it is to move from a IB (M&A in a BBs or EBs) to Consulting (MBB or other strong brands) in London/Paris?

Background: 1st/2nd/3rd year Analyst, Msc in Finance from a target school in Europe, no previous experience in Consulting (only M&A/PE)

I would welcome any chance to discuss with someone that made the move!

Many thanks!
