Currently working as a consultant at a mid-tier firm, where I've been almost 1.5 years. Recently finished top in my class and 4.0 MBA at non-target business school.
My goal is to become a SC at a big four or MBB. Been kind of tough in the recruiting situation. Got to last round at
Deloitte, looked promising.. and the team informed me that they went internal for the hire.
Trying to focus on what I can control during this pursuit.
Do I obtain some cert? Build more time experience?
Thanks

Incoming MBA, I have my tuition paid for and rent covered (I will be an RA). So the only thing I need to pay for is food and entertainment. Do you think 20k is enough to last me through the 2 years? I will make a little money interning in the summer, so that would be a safety valve if I blow through the 20k.

Or… should I take a small loan?

Mid-level associate at a mid-size regional insurance defense firm practicing coverage litigation. Salary is capped b/c my firm only does I.D./coverage and has no direct-hire comm clients. Second round of interviews with a comm lit boutique where I would be the only associate with 5 partners. Other than partner track, salary/benefits, and switching from coverage to general comm lit, what qualities of the move should I be thinking about as I weigh my options? I've never worked at another firm.

We also noticed that in 2019 we hit our highest revenue but did the fewest overall client work for that year. In 2020 and 2021 we did more client work but fell short of $800k revenue. Our avg rev per client is $2500, with a lot of single projects @ $500. Does it makes sense to increase our prices?
