Does a MBA make sense for me? Currently am a SC, have 4 YOE in consulting (Big 4 plus current role at WMP), & make 120k.Would want to stay in consulting post-MBA as well. Advice appreciated.

Yes if the following are true
(1) you want to switch firms.
(2) WMP lets you move up faster with it.
(3) you may want to leave consulting for industry (even 10 yrs from now) where the degree is more valued.

If you can get sponsored & get into a big name, it’s almost a no-brainer to do it in my view.

Thanks McK1. To add context, I wouldn’t be sponsored and I’d be paying for it out of pocket. I was thinking about doing a part time program at a Booth/Kellogg - I’m close to M promo at WMP and could still have a salary.

Do you think PT programs are seen as less as FT? Worried I’d be shooting my self in the foot by not doing FT. Thank you in advance.
