Anyone with a Master's or Ph.D. in Supply Chain? Is it worth it?

Got two offers -
L.E.K. Consulting -120K as Associate
Deloitte - 120K Strategy Consultant

Trying to figure out which is better - thoughts?

Also I I had a 4.0 for my masters but a 2.9 for my Bachelors - I actually applied to L.E.K. with 3.3 with my Bachelors by mistake (didn't think they cared) - Thoughts on how to bring it up to them/is it worth.

At what point does the value of a degree fall off? I'm in my early 30s, and have five years of experience, and work on a very theoretically interesting project. I believe I'm on track to promotion in the next year. So, I could put in a year of full time school to check the box off, but I'd be sacrificing hobbies and social life (not to mention cost). Is this FOMO or is there real opportunity here?

What are the best and easiest EMBA programs to get into?

Hello, I was in a verbally abusive college relationship and struggled with mental health. Therefore, my gpa suffered greatly (2.9). However, I now have a good job and am doing very well. Should I explain the reason for my low GPA in my MBA app? I’m applying to LBS, Booth, Stanford, UCLA, UCB etc.

I just found out I got into a top tier business school for an EMBA! Coursework will directly benefit my present position, and I hope in the immediate future learnings will help me grow in my role.

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

The GMAT doesn’t have the AWA section until 5/20, right?

What are you all doing to upskill as the geniuses in AI development fast track our demise? Any plans? I constantly fantasize about going back to school and going down a comp sci path maybe even PhD
