Does MBB sponsor (time, stipend) PhD programs?

BCG generally does not sponsor programs that are 5 years or longer (i.e., most PhDs)

@M1 I would still be surprised since PhDs aren’t necessary for the job (I say this as a consultant with a PhD). Also, most PhDs in the US are funded by the university/department/adviser. If MBB funding was contingent on finishing in 4 years, that’s not a risk I would want to take bc it’s largely out of your control.

I could see this being different in Europe since PhDs are regarded differently (better) and usually only take 3-4 years because a masters is a necessary prerequisite.

I.E would like to make MD in MO/BO function and am happy with the remuneration.

Hi Fishes,
I've got a very off the track question but I would really love your inputs. So I've got an offer from a company and I've accepted it as well. I've also added that I'm serving notice period on job portals. Coincidentally enough, HR from the company I'm holding offer with saw the profile and called me to ask why I'm updating my profile on portals and weather I'll join or not. So is it something I should be tensed about ? Is there any chance they will revoke the offer or something?

When I look back at choosing schools for undergraduate I think I made the smartest decision. I was never a straight A student in high-school, but I went to a community college for two years and did well enough to transfer to a top undergraduate program. This was much easier than applying straight to a top undergraduate program, at the end of the day it doesn’t matter how you got into the club, it matters what you do once you’re in. What was your path?
