Do you still have a good chance at landing MBB/tier 2 consulting from T25 MBA?

Coming from a large state university that didn’t have a top tiered undergrad program.

MBA programs publish their career outcomes. It should be very easy to pull up data showing that X% of their MBA grads went to MBB or wherever else. Here is an example. Google "[school] employment report" to find this data.

A1 I am primary interested in Bay Area and LA offices….so by your reasoning, sounds like LA may be the better choice since I would be competing against UCLA/USC vs competing against Berkley/Stanford in Bay Area?

Tough for MBB but you should be fine at Tier 2 and B4, depending on the firm. B4 definitely doable

MBB should be doable but Deloitte is out of the question 😂

Flexible on location and firm as long as it’s still a top 5 firm.

Are you in the mba program already? Or considering one?

Not sure I’m following the logic there. How is ROI higher at a T25? Particularly if placement isn’t as good. Tuition is pretty similar, no? Maybe a shade cheaper?

Also would leaving IBM after 1 year look bad on CV?
