HS > Full Ride anywhere else in the M7

I’m at HBS now, so I’m biased but I’d say HS over anywhere else. You’ll generally be able to pay back tuition within three years anyways, so it’s less of an issue than people think, at least at the M7 tier. And the HS brand name just trumps all the others, including BCG - you’d be surprised by how many people in the corporate world have never even heard of BCG or Bain

Among people who have heard of McKinsey and Harvard, McKinsey has a stronger brand name. If you’ve never heard of mck though, Harvard is stronger. I personally think McK has the strongest brand name is the business world

My (uneducated) gut reaction is that it depends on which schools are at play. In particular, if it’s Wharton and you’re not doing a dual degree program, I’m not sure that there’s a massive delta with other schools for US-centric corporate strategy. Finance and analytic marketing are a different story, but I think that given your interests, culture and fit can play a bigger role.

C1 would you say no money at HBS is worh more than a full ride at Wharton?

Assuming you have both those, congrats. Wondering what it takes to get scholarships at HSW

Thanks OW! Was shocked myself but grateful

Jesus, hell no. I’m tempted to say that your BCG stamp will have far more value than your MBA for the position you want, so go with whatever fits you best.

Had a friend go HBS no ride over Wharton half ride for what it's worth. Whether you take sponsorship a big factor obvs- she was planning to

Are HSW scholarships more stat based (gpa, gmat) or minority/status/need based

^neither? There's spikiness defined by neither of those...

C1 do you believe McKinsey has a stronger brand name than HBS?

Trying to determine if transitioning from my current role as a Manger, Strategy for a ~100 person Fintech working directly with the C-Suite to a Senior Product Manager at Amazon would be a lateral, upward, or downward move. On one hand my comp would go up and I’d be in a bigger org with defined growth, on the other, I would lose the exposure to executives and influence over our corporate strategy. Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated! TIA!

My GC informed our team that he’s leaving today. Great for him!! Although I have good job security and I’m well integrated, I assume that that some of his responsibilities will be divvied among our very small team. The bright side is that I’m not super busy and could probably handle more work. But it would mean that my job would change significantly and I probably can’t maintain WLB. What do I do in this situation? Accept the responsibilities and ask for more money? Start looking elsewhere?

Are Director and Senior Corporate Counsel perceived the same in recruitment, or should I push for a title change to Director if I get an offer?
