Direct promote 2.5 years after starting in consulting out of undergrad making post-MBA salary. B-school still worth it for the network and experience if consulting isn't the long game?

Depends on the long game. Industry probably not, entrepreneurship / venture / anything that requires sourcing deals probably yes

If you're worried about the credential, I'd suggest part time or executive. Similar circumstances. Don't forgo the salary and get a top tier résumé line item. If you stay in consulting, great. If you leave, you've got an insurance policy and no debt.

Anyone who goes to any program is incentivized to promote that brand. So... Of course people say they loved Insead. Why would they do anything else?

I know people who haven't been wild about their schools. The ones I have met seem like they bonded with their coworkers and have a very tight knit network.

How hard is the jump to industry without a MBA? I feel like it is pretty tough internationally if you don't reach principal / director at a consulting firm at least.

Depends to what level...industry loves recruiting from consulting firms

SPHR exam- has anyone ever been “randomly selected” for an application audit? This just happened to me and the sheer amount of effort that is going to go into collecting all the documents almost makes me not want to follow through. Since I didn’t finish undergrad, they’re asking for a copy of my high school diploma or transcript and that itself is going to be an absolute nightmare to get hold of. Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.
