Currently on H1B. Trying to decide if I should pursue full-time MBA, or get part-time MBA while working. Just got MBB offer with 30% salary increase. Both MBA programs are top 10.

That significantly prolongs the process and there’s no guarantee the MBB will pay for it, it’s based on certain criteria.

What does an MBA get you that you won’t already get at MBB? Your classmates will be applying to intern for you

MBB are not.

Assuming you’re working in a non-internal role, you won’t have time to do part-time and keep your job. I guess you could do it on the weekends but you’d likely burn out quickly

Do you have enough money to go 2 years without working?

What door do you think an MBA will open that MBB won’t?

Agree with BCG1. If it’s an internal role or even an expert track, u can squeeze it but would be stretch. I would try to move into consulting rather than mba if I were in internal roles

I was discussing my recent job search with some friends and we got into a small debate. I stand firm on not wasting my time applying for a job that doesn't post the salary with the job description, anyone else do this? I feel like anytime I have interviewed for a job that didn't post the salary, they end up lowballing me during the offer phase.

Does anyone stress about student loans? I have $176k in loans and as January gets closer, the panic attacks have gotten worser.

Additional Posts in Consulting Exit Opportunities

I've become really jaded about consulting. I find all so often you need to tell the client what they want to hear to keep their business and I feel like so much of the what I recommend doesn't actually get implemented. I'm looking to make a career switch so I can both create and execute on my strategies. A product management path seems very promising for this.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?
