Background: I am currently an audit senior at big 4 and also have a MBA degree. Really want to switch to management consulting. My questions are 1. When is the best time to leave? Should I wait till I make manager? 2. What skills should I develop at my current job for a management consulting job? Thank you!!

Is it a real MBA or one from a school no one cares about? Or an “MBA with a concentration in Accounting” i.e. not really an MBA.

Sorry to be so blunt, but this actually matters with MBAs. Unless it is a top program no one cares and it isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

How did that happen? Why didn't you get a consulting job straight out of MBA? And which school?

Yeah I’m sorry but I have to agree with the above—if you have a MBA and are currently in audit, you did something wrong and no ones going to consider you for a management consulting role unless you present an exceptional story for why you wanted to develop you skill set in auditing.

If I were you, id try to network into your FDD practice. Don’t really believe there is a chance you break into
Management consulting from audit unless it’s a really small shop. At that point it isn’t really worth it

Hi Fish
I saw a post about people looking for rental deals in Chicago.

My building is offering a promotion for anyone that's referred from a current resident. I get a discount credit on rent and you would get one month free, plus a $400 rental credit, plus a $500 Amazon gift card.

There's no move/out fees and rent varies from ~1600 to 2,000 depending if you want a studio, one-bed, or two-bed.

Lakeview Boystown area, new building with ceiling to floor windows.

If you're interested DM me!
