I’m curious why is this specific to Stern. Do you think it is different for other MBAs who did the same switch?

No don't think it would be different. I was just trying gauge how many successfully make it to MBB from stern from that question, but I am interested in anyone's experience transitioning from finance to consulting.

My bad for not making it clear the first place.

Hello fellow HR pros! I really need your opinions on HR certifications. I am deciding between PHR and SHRM-cp. I have read just about all there is online comparing the two and can not decide.
