HEC is apparently a better option for finance than INSEAD, depends where you want to be based?

Only if you are in France, is what I heard. HEC is a French university with a business school that teaches an MBA in English. If want to do anything in France, HEC is brilliant but the network is not as international as INSEAD.

Pivoting to PE or IB from MBA is not that common these days.

The only people I know landed good jobs in those sectors post MBA had relevant experience going on or networked so hard they probably could have got the job from anywhere.

Is it only the MBB that would sponsor an MBA? Anyone know of tier 2 firms paying for it? (PwC or KPMG?)

PwC strategy (S& but also Deals Strategy which is kinda separate but not really anymore) deff sponsor. Accenture Strategy also sponsor.
Not sure about the others but I assume so.

Hi, just wondering how the staffing situation has been in strategy consulting in general? My sibling started a job in strategy in Silicon Valley 2 months ago after MBA.

She has been under a lot of stress although she had many great networking calls with people. I wanted to help but can't identify what she can improve on.

New York folks:
Are you aware of the CPA exam credit extension to 2021 for NY CPA candidates impacted by COVID19? It’s on a person-by-person basis and you need to request the extension. Has anyone tried doing this yet? Can anyone shine more light on this? The extension would really help me, but I’m not sure what more to tell them in my email than the fact that I couldn’t sit for the exams this Spring/Summer due to test centers closing in NYC.

A bunch of the attorneys dropped not so subtle hints that people who work from home are causing all kinds of problems. I don’t know what to do.
