Considering doing an MBA from (hopefully) a top 10 school. Not sure of the financial implication considering I'll be down ~200k in tuition. What does the sign on, base, bonus look like in MBB/Big 4?

140-160k with ~25k signing bonus. Parthenon goes up to 170k and Deloitte offers 2nd year tuition reimbursement to returning summer interns (I think).

If you’re already at Deloitte, I personally don’t see the value of paying $200k for an MBA just to come back to a B4 - unless you’re focused on Monitor, S&, Parthenon. Even then, idk how it works internally but definitely at least try exhausting internal networking and trying to get an internal transfer. Maybe it’s impossible idk.

If you get into a top school and are aiming for MBB, ATK, OW, etc then yeah I think it’s worth leaving Deloitte and investing that money.

I guess it doesn’t make sense to get an mba anymore if you are making 155k as manager? Mba always seemed like a goal for me but not sure what value it would provide anymore. I guess changing specialties.

I am thinking to quote my in hand offer as 17 fixed with changes in it and share it with them.
So that they can give me around 20 fixed.
Request to share honest detail here.
