My father is a hiring manager at a tech company. For him he considers Accenture the best since they usually have the most relevant experience. Remember, most hiring managers in tech don’t even know the acronym mbb

This.

Accenture is well known for digital also, the mbb firms are trying to expand and enter accentures territory.

Going to throw Accenture into the hat. Top tier in digital but still pushed out by MBB for management consulting and overall brand.

For PM, honestly Accenture makes more sense than MBB

This isn’t how you get into product

like

You can get in but if you know you want to do product its much better to go straight but have seen ex-MBB make the switch

smart

MBB to answer your question but better to go a more direct route Vs through consulting

like

Consulting brand won’t help as much. They’ll view you more as an advisor and not enough hands on experience. Hiring managers like Product experience even if it’s at a small company.

Digital ventures at BCG is the way to go...

Yeah no this is not the right answer. The good DV people come to the MB because they are second class citizens at BCG.

Plenty of OW alums went to FAANG or startups as PMs. I assume it’s the same for all firms.

Do I try to stick it out at the firm while getting the masters, ask for a reduced hours schedule, or get a part time, non-legal job so I can focus more on the program (one year).

I have high school children of my own, but disciplining high schoolers has always intimidated me for some reason. I have excellent classroom management, but I feel like high schoolers are a little smarter ab getting around rules and less worried about consequences.
