I have a weird experience with KPMG India . Two weeks ago I had salary negotiation with the HR manager. He told me that the offer will be released in a couple of days but I haven't received the offer letter yet.I tried reaching out to the HR manager but didn't receive any response. Shall I take it as no?

If you already have a heavy tech/engineering background, you could always try a two step maneuver. 1) Move to a strong branded consulting firm (e.g. Big 4, Accenture, etc.) and focus on IT strategy / tech transformation 2) Use your tech background to move into a strategy practice (e.g. EYP, Strategy&, MBB, Kearney)
The idea would be becoming a specialist where strategy firms needs your unique skill set. A few areas off the top of my head would be AI implementation, IT in M&A, Quaantum, etc.
Some firms do this 2-step manuevre organically. At EY, all the top tech talent who demonstrate an ability to work in M&A get poached to work in EY-Parthenon
Just an alternative path to coni if you want to keep earning. Networking will be a huge portion of your effort in switching firms
Thanks for the suggestions! In all honesty, I'm really tired of the actual tech work. I'm more interested in getting into a program manager role at tech firms. My consulting tech experience has been mainly pmo work, which gets old fairly quickly.
I'll consider getting into a bigger name firm for better exit ops as an alternative.
ITS NEVER TOO LATE TO BETTER YOURSELF. KEEP ON GOING.
This energy is manic 😅

Are you trying to leave consulting? If not, idk that a top 15 MBA helps with comp that much.
$150 is ~ 10k less then what most new MBAs get. Missing out on two years of earnings will be a lot more.
Are you sure you want to stay in consulting at 34? If yes, I think there is benefit
I'm actually relatively new to consulting. Majority of my experience was engineering related so I haven't been burnt out by consulting yet.
What kind of work are you doing now? What do you consider strategy work? Is increased salary the main goal?
I don’t think it’s too late for going back. Not at all. There are a lot of factors that’ll go into whether it’s worth it though. Do you have an idea on how you will get into corporate strategy after you graduate?
You could do part time or emba
D1 my last firm did partially but I paid back after I finished because I knew I wanted to switch to consulting ASAP (or else there’s 2 years retention which wasn’t worth it for me)

Since I haven't seen anyone else mention it, what is the childcare situation going to be?
Just speaking from personal experience, I would not have wanted to handle my MBA academic workload while dealing with my kid at that age.
I'm fortunate in that I have a strong family presence around me that can help look out for my kid so that shouldn't be an issue
I’d do part time/emba. I was 28 when I started my mba, starting at 34 seems exhausting
Yea and forgot to add, I felt a bit old at 28 😆
Not too late. I began mine at 32, completely changed my life for me.
To answer your question directly... No. I started my MBA at 38.
How about weekend MBA or evening MBA as full times? That would ensure you have your job over the weekdays and MBA over the weekends. FYI, Satya Nadella from MSFT is an example.
