Currently working as contractor consultant remotely for a T2. Thinking of doing a masters to go for a full time consulting role. Does this make sense from a career standpoint? Should I just stick to the contractor role and just try my luck networking into a full time role? I am not from a target undergrad.

I’d try to build connections and pivot without mba. ROI for MBAs is a little low in EU. Shoot your shot! You can always do the MBA later

I just started, it’s my first job (outside internships)

If you are working as a contractor its already a good sign that you are fit for the role. (Except you only are some supporting role like only formatting slides or doing their accounting…)
I did not need any Master degree to land a Job in a T2, but I have a bachelor degree from a prestigious university. In general its pretty chilled in Europe and they don’t care that much about having a master degree. But it will lower your chances with some companies who just recruit people with master degrees (about 50% of the companies)
