Could a case still be made for an M7 MBA if one has directly promoted to the MBB post-MBA role? I wanted an MBA but am lateraling to Bain PEG and will be one year away from Consultant promo. At that point, what jobs would be worth recruiting for from M7? PE? VC? Would I need H/S/W for it to be worth it?

Not from a monetary or career transition perspective. Any job that you can get out of MBA you can also get from Bain. The only benefit is a 2 year break with slightly lower opportunity cost due to sponsorship and a good “network” if weigh the intangible benefits there.
