Contemplating a career switch into consulting as I want to go non-technical. I don't want to pay 250k for ivy league MBA. I have a MS in computer engg from a top 5 engineering school. 7YOE at a top 3 semiconductor as ML/AI engineer.

I can get 300+ maybe up to 400-450k TC in FAANG but not liking technical stuff anymore.

Do you think aiming for MBB for a Management Consulting[tech domain] role is a stretch given I have no consulting background? What kind of compensation can I expect?

You probably can expect to be leveled at the post-mba optimistically. The TC is $250k on the high end $210k low end but scales quite well (pls at BCG make $350-400+ and there's a clear path to 7 figs if you want it).

Thanks for your reply. Typically what is 'average' timeline to make PL in MBB? Also, typically what % would be travel?
