How much does company name/brand matter on a resume? I’ve worked for mid size firms my entire career (5 years) and as I’m thinking about jumping to a new company (stagnating salary) I’m wondering what firm would be best for me to pursue a role at. I’m between Microsoft and a lesser known consulting firm (but has 2B in revenue and is on the best places to work list) that I personally think aligns better with my values. Any advice? Good fit or name brand essentially

Considering a MBA to brush up on my skills and potentially move into a investing focused role. I’ve seen/heard countless stories around a MBA not being ‘worth it’ anymore. Can any post-grad MBA’s share their stories around their experiences upon finishing? Was it worth it, do you believe it’s opened doors for you? Also the social aspect of a MBA, have you networked and made great contacts/ friends for life?

Is it just me or is campus recruiting this year crazy competitive?

PhD in Neuroscience from Cambridge with demonstrated interest (courses) in consulting.

Lots of case interview practice.

Straight rejection from McK London (with partner referral), BCG and Bain.

Got to a few first and final rounds at T2s but nothing has stuck yet.

Wtf?

This whole process is really making me think consulting is not a good career choice

Hi everyone,
How do you decide on your exit ? When I check the profiles of ex-consultants or read here success stories about new exits, I m sometimes amazed by the jumps people make not only in terms of compensation but also the role and responsibilities. So, when you make such a step, how are you making sure that your skillset will fit the role? Is there any fear of failing if you jump for example from a consultant to a director? Fake it till make it? Or what is your strategy?

I have 20+ yoe and MBA. Had a pretty rough time getting into private industry after the MBA, partly because of my public sector background. The only role that I got was a Manager in consulting, while my classmates left for SM and MD roles. But, after 4 years in consulting, and interviewing with other consulting firms, I am still being directed to the Manager role by recruiters. Reason: We hire only at that level. But, my classmates are joining the same firm as MD. Am I underselling my skills?
