Am I competitive for T15 MBA? (Canadian undergrad in business, 3.7 gpa, audit > cpa > big 4 consulting > T2 strategy consulting. GMAT tbd.

I think I’m having a midlife crisis… 36 y/o, 9 years in consulting before exiting as a Director at a Fortune 50 a year ago. Engineering degree with a sub 3.0 gpa. I shouldn’t think of an MBA as a viable career pivot option at this point right?

Hi fishes,

A quick suggestion...the trend earlier was
yoe x 2= good deal
Yoe x 2.5=great deal
Yoex3= amazing deal
Tier 2engg grad
Non mba
Consulting
Is this the same now?

Thoughts on attending early access pre-MBA programs as a sponsored consultant? Currently work at a T2, but am interested in networking with ppl at MBB. Debating whether I should apply to McKinsey Early Access, Bain, etc. My firm is sponsoring me, so I wouldn’t actively be recruiting for consulting roles. Wondering if this is looked down upon

I’m a recruiter who would like to eventually pivot to HR but I don’t have an HR degree. I’m considering pursing a Masters degree however am torn between HR or Org Psych/Org Development. Would love to hear folks’ perspective of either degree!

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients.

Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

Hi fishes,

I am a strategy consulting enthusiast from a middle class family. Don't have the financial stability to take a loan for an MBA and hence had to drop some renouned admits this year (Think top IIM's) due to family circumstances. I still dream big and request you to provide some insights for my research:-
1) Average expected package of an associate
2) Average experience expected at ZS to get hired at associate (not BCN)
3) Good books to upskill and ace the consulting case interviews

I got laid off and not sure if I should find a place cheaper to live by myself and pay rent with UI for couple of months while studying or go back home where family is and contribute much less than I will be spending living alone to parents for rent. I will be saving a lot. Problem is younger sister who is mentally draining and steals my things, makes nasty comments towards me lives there and her bedroom will be right next to mine. She once got me arrested for no reason. What should I do?
