Is getting MBA worth it if I don’t plan on changing careers but simply want a boost in compensation? I believe firms pay MBA hires more and promote them faster despite them doing the same job I am currently doing. I would be taking out loans 100%. Currently making $150k base in HCOL with 6 YOE, MS in accounting and CPA license.

Hi all, I’m looking for a change from my current firm. I’ve been here (current firm) about 9 months but don’t dig the work. A total of 2 years B4 life sciences ops consulting experience with a ton of industry experience. I can survive here forever but don’t think I’m passionate enough. Bench is a bit heavy and pipeline is a little anaemic.
Anyone willing to talk/DM/refer for preferably a manager role, or SC role if compensation is commensurate?

For anyone aspiring to go into strategy consulting, don’t do it. Don’t get my wrong, I once had this glorified image of what it would be like to work for McKinsey or similar. I spent months learning about the interview process and after years of trying got into a top strategy consultancy from a big4.
I cannot underscore this enough, for myself and the majority of my colleagues, it is terrible. The WLB is non existent. Yes, salary and perks are good. But if that’s your driver learn to do data
