Hi Fishes,

I am currently looking for a job change. My current organization got acquired and a lot of restructuring is currently in place.

Any referral would be appreciated.

B Tech + MBA (4 yrs total work ex and 2 yrs post MBA)
Current role: Financial Data and Product analyst.
Data analysis, Financial data analysis, dashboards, bugs handling in collaboration with engineers, etc.

Skills: SQL server, Excel, Excel pivot, Tableau, Jira, Eikon and other Secondary research tools.

Location: Delhi

Why would someone pursue BTech from an IIT and then go to Top IIMs for MBA in order to be a civil servant later?
I have seen many people with IIT, IIM degrees going for UPSC.

Isn't it waste of time resources and seats just to do a British era job which is just to lick feet of the politicians and be a slave ?

These MBA recruiting events are the worst. That’s all

For those at EYP at a consultant level - did you get an MBA? I see a handful of ppl from eh undergrads and no MBA who are making that 200k + and it makes no sense to me how..

18% base salary cut for a role at a higher tier consulting firm — this role is NOT in client service - it’s an internal position. Pros: wfh, subject matter I care about, team seems great. Cons: salary cut, told not much wiggle room in increasing base but they will ‘try’. 6YOE, 2 yr post-MBA. Should I hold out for a better exit amid this recession? Or accept this role/paycut and hopefully enjoy my life/work more in the interim? What would you do?

Are there any other 2021 grads who feel super let down about their MBA experience due to the global panini? I ended up taking a safety job in consulting because of it and I’m miserable. I have asthma and couldn’t take the risk to build my network in-person when things were peak awful, but now I feel like I missed out on something critical

GM folks. Only 2 question please. I have a 760 GMAT, a top 5 MBA (big MBB feeder) & non-traditional bkgrnd. Recently dinged in the final rounds of Mck & Bain on-campus. Planning on re-applying next year.

1) My MBA GPA is borderline bad since I got the idea that once you have a top MBA, no one will look at grades. Will the transcripts of MBA matter if I apply as an experienced hire next year? What can I do now?
2) Does your referral have to be from the same office or could be different office?

Hi all, how long did it take for you to get to equity partner after MBA? Where you in MBB pre-MBA?

I have military benefits left and can get most MBA expenses covered at a Top 30-ish school. Should I pull the trigger? Has anyone regretted getting their MBA and pivoting into consulting after the age of 30.

31 YO, 8YoE Industry …I’m in the interview process at all Big4s currently but I’m getting hiring freezes and consistent ghosting. I can’t even apply to new roles at Big4 because I’m already in the process at all of them. Maybe if I had an MBA I’d be more competitive?

Thank you.

Hey folks.. 👋🏻 I am having an experience of 1.5 yrs as an Area manager in business operations & sales at a finance company. I have completed my MBA in 2021.

Has anyone done a part time MBA while working full time in consulting? I want the MBA for career pivot options and the networking but working 50 hrs a week in consulting probably won’t allow me much time to be on campus and interact with people. Thoughts?
