Currently at an M&A advisory/consulting position who has been admitted to an MBA program. I’m looking for an industry job with a salary and WLB that makes the MBA unnecessary, wondering if anyone has thoughts on what someone with this experience might be able to land

An MBA isn’t necessary for everything. But if you want good compensation and WLB without much experience (assuming you’re Associate/Senior to be considering MBA) that leads you to a similar place as if you had gotten an MBA then great, so does everyone

Corp dev roles are the obvious functional fit but they are not plentiful or lucrative at the sub-Manager level, and you’re still going to be a victim of “deal speed” mandates killing your WLB

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years.

I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.
