10 plus years in consulting and dad of two. Want to make a career transition outside my current line of work. EMBA to do so? Going to be turning 40 next year.

Surely you can market yourself without needing one? 10 years of consulting is pretty useful in a lot of lines of work. Why do you feel you need another qualification?

you sound like you can well qualify yourself without an emba. what do you want to do instead? is an MBA table stakes?

Left b4 consulting for f500 industry (pharma). Much of what was promised was blatantly false or hasn’t panned out. However, the pay (around 300k) and WLB are real. And work is somewhat interesting - just isn’t what i signed up for, moves at a glacial pace and i have doubts about the potential of much of what my team is doing.

Am i crazy for considering returning to consulting like MBB in an M level role? In low 30s now and we have a very young child. Please roast me if i need to hear it. TIA!

Hey all, started my role as a recruiter at an agency recently and had my first placement! It was great until the candidate wants to renegotiate the base and benefits after the current company counter-offered when the candidate no longer sees the future. Any tips on what to say to bring back to focus? The current role is a Sr. Acct Receivable (less than 2yr) and going into collections specialist at a global law firm.
