I would say Darden or Ross. Darden is a pretty good consulting feeder

Johnson will not get you to MBB. Check out the career report for the exact #s, I went to their admitted students day and they send like less than 5 people per year to Bain/BCG.

I think Ross wins, but Darden is pretty great for consulting

Cornell does fine for MBB. Don’t listen to the hater above

Ross or Darden - whenever you feel better about! Remember reading somewhere that Ross is Amazon’s number 1 feeder

Darden has a smaller class size btw

All three are in the same tier. If accepted to all three, choose based on fit.

Is it worth making the time/money investment to make the switch from big 4 FDD to MBB. This would require getting into and paying for a top MBA program and my net worth would be way negative after that. Are the MBB financial returns worth it? Im 26 years old for reference

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.

Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?

Hi
Would love to get your opinion on this-
I am planning on applying to business school this year in round 1 and round 2. I am in india working at D. I have received an offer to work with another big 4 in London as manager with their consulting team starting June. The role is definitely a step up in terms of responsibilities from my current role as a senior consultant. Do you think it might hamper my business school application changing jobs so close to round 1? Have been at D for 4 yrs
