Do people from Tier2s/Big4 see M7 as crapshoot?

Are you the same BA who keeps asking if individuals from MBB are the only ones who have a chance at M7 and everyone should resign themselves to a lifetime of inferiority?

Look, all the M7s have a ton of individuals from all consulting firms. Even those individuals on this forum consider “T3 or lower”. Please stop posting moronic questions like this. Do a bit of research. A quick LinkedIn search would help.

I work at a consulting firm you would have never heard of and my question is in reference to all the posts below in which individuals post their stats and firms and denials. I see many rejections and am wondering if T2/Big4 do not have a chance and they are more prestigious, should I pursue my sustainability masters instead of MBA?

Unsure what other posts you are referring to or where the hostility is coming from.

^ what......

It’s not a crapshoot overall. Any given school is not guaranteed but with the right profile you can for all intents and purposes guarantee that you will get a M7 school.

Depends on the individual.

No. I see myself as a shoe in for at least m7 tbh

I'm struggling at work and in the process of adjusting my meds, while simultaneously trying to fix some bad habits that I think came from burnout. I thought having a manager who has ADHD would be helpful. On the contrary, they don't seem to have a lot of empathy or patience for me. I think, in part, because they have theirs under control and are a high performer. Maybe they forgot what poorly controlled symptoms/adjustments feel like? Anyone else have similar experiences?
