Asking on behalf of a friend. For MBB, the Big 4, and other top tier consulting firms - which MBA schools enable you to be a MBA hire? Just the T10? UT-Austin is what I’m curious about specifically. For example, I have an MBA from a small private school and I know the big firms wouldn’t hire me at the MBA pay so want to learn where the line gets drawn to give my friend advice. TIA!

I would check employment reports from schools - will give a breakdown of exactly where the class ended up

I don’t think there’s a bright line and going too top 7-10 schools isn’t a guarantee

You can get MBB offers from Top 20 but there are fewer spots and maybe be more location specific. For example, BCG and McKinsey have recently ramped up hiring out of Tepper for their Pittsburgh and Philly offices.

Pretty sure UT is a MBA target school for us. Google Accenture MBA target schools and there is a list somewhere.

I came from t25/t30

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>
