McKinsey & Company Applying to McKinsey as an EH while getting my part-time MBA. Any cons to checking “Yes” to being in school on the app? Want to make sure recruiters do not overlook the app simply because of technically being in school while working.McKinsey & Company

I don’t know how it’d be possible to work at McKinsey while getting an MBA...unless you don’t sleep because you’re a shark

Being in school wouldn't make them overlook it. It just means you'd be in a totally separate applicant pool, as campus hires are separate from experienced hires.

But I don't know how you'd be able to finish your degree while working here. Most of us barely have time to sleep or have a social life; I have no clue where you'd find the time to study.

There’s no way you can do mck and school at the same time. McKinsey consumes your entire week literally morning until bed

Don’t tell them about MBA. First see if you can even get an offer, and if it’s reasonable. You can put your MBA on hold to get the MBB experience and maybe they can pay it for you later

They won’t pay for it later, but also at that point it might not matter to you to finish. Or you get the offer and talk to them about a deferral.

Where is your part time MBA from? Booth? NYU?

Is there a general expectation that a Partner has an MBA?

I doubt it's required at most firms but I'm a pretty senior staff and when I speak with Partners, they seem to speak with an MBA level of business knowledge which extends past their technical skillset.

I realize that's what makes them good Partners but it makes me wonder if I realistically need to get an MBA to keep growing and hit Partner.

Since I didn’t finish undergrad, they’re asking for a copy of my high school diploma or transcript and that itself is going to be an absolute nightmare to get hold of. Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.

I was a month in as Workday HCM Consultant with Accenture. They immediately throw me into the HCM courses to obtain my WD HCM certification. There are three parts HCM Essentials, HCM Applied, and HCM Practical. The passing score is 70 or above. I scored a 62 on the Essentials portion, I passed Applied, and at the end of this week Practical. During class, I received an “immediate connect” Team call and I was fired because of my low score. I'm devastated, and shocked. Yesterday was my birthday.

What do you consider a more lucrative post MBA career? Tech or consulting? My impression is that although consulting lures you in with high base and sign on bonus, tech pay can be commiserate or even more through RSAs. Thoughts?

Should I renege offer from MBB?

An MBA recent grad. I signed with MBB last year. However, I have always wanted to do tech PM. I couldn’t find PM job in Fall and just signed MBB offer I have. I recently got an FAANG offer. It’s PM function, hard to break in with consulting experience. I declined the new offer during interview stage and again after they gave me initial offer, but it is coming back with 80k more in annual compensation. It made me so torn!! Should I renege MBB offer?
