Any thoughts on the MBA program at Boston University? Is Boston University MBA good enough for positions at FAANG or MBB? And what about the MBA program at MIT?

BU certainly isn’t a target for mbb or FAANG, and Sloan obviously is...
You can look up employment reports on the school websites to get a pretty good idea of numbers hired by each of those firms

Sloan and BU aren't in even in the same league, more like South Pole vs. North Pole

It isn’t target for MBB

Bain and BCG hire a few from McCombs, I don't think McKinsey does. I'd consider McCombs a regional school like Goizueta, etc.

Dude, do your research. BU and MIT are on COMPLETELY different leagues..

BU's MBA is not strong enough for FAANG/ MBB.

MIT is a solid top program, you'll have plenty of options from there.

From consulting to investing / lending - anyone has guidance on how to make the move? I’m a consulting manager with finance experience pre-MBA. Thinking about pivoting into investing / lending but struggle to find an angle - assumed that it would be hard to break into investing but lending would be great (all the way from corporate banking to mezz). Any guidance on seeking relevant experience while in consulting?

Here is my idea for a startup! I collect all the data from career transitions and use Data Analytics to predict the most likely career transitions. I could start with consulting. What do you guys think about this? I would be able to predict based on your firm(mbb, big4), your experience, which role you are likely to move (Faang pm, strategy manager, move to mbb). I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?
