Can I get some career advice? I am currently a senior associate (Up for manager) at Big 4 (Transaction Service) I am currently doing a part-time MBA (top 20). 30 years old
What options would you suggest for post-MBA roles? My long term goal is to become a investor / VC investor / Consulting Advisor (I would like to start as my side job and make it grow)

- MBB or 2 tier Consulting
- IB Associate roles -> PE or VC exit
- IB Analyst role before graduation
- Tech or Start Up

IB then tech startup IMO, consulting won’t get you there

Not sure about T2, but MBB will certainly get you to PE or VC. Just not mega fund since MBA is not from M7 and is part-time. It is still doable, but really difficult.
MBB can get you there. But definitely more challenging than IB path.

If you're a TS SC, you can move to a MM bank without an MBA.

TSE will not get you where you want to be.

Ok, maybe this has been done before, but I want to get a real life sense of the difference between EPLI and Private L&E (management side) practices. Let's do a poll:

2.) Number of matters you are currently working on

3.) Average billable rate (your year)

4.) Normal working hours/wk

5.) Percentages: Litigation vs Counseling

6.) Type of firm: ID, Big 4, Boutique, BigLaw, etc.

I'll kick things off in comments.
