Stop wasting your time on MBB for coding. You will be treated like a second class citizen by business consultants. At FAANG, you will have more opportunities to up skill too.

If you have outstanding coding skills you can make it anywhere, the market is hot, it’s all depending on your coding skills and also personality and communication skills in the case of MB, Bain doesn’t do technology, they were left behind long time ago.

If you have solid technical skills FAANG will be easier, if you have solid communication skills MB will be easier, let’s put it that way.

For me, it’s FAANG but it can vary from person to person. I have zero idea what MBB does in tech

Hi
Would love to get your opinion on this-
I am planning on applying to business school this year in round 1 and round 2. I am in india working at D. I have received an offer to work with another big 4 in London as manager with their consulting team starting June. The role is definitely a step up in terms of responsibilities from my current role as a senior consultant. Do you think it might hamper my business school application changing jobs so close to round 1? Have been at D for 4 yrs

Then I was told to work directly with a client, it's been 2 months already we work late hours and also on weekend (asked by the client). It feels like my personal life is gone. Do you think I should change job?

I've found ChatGPT mildly interesting... until a manager shared an experiment he did last week. He asked a few bench analysts to spend an hour researching basic questions a client might ask (e.g. "which Fortune 500 companies have the most questionable ESG strategies and why?") and to answer via 2-3 short paragraphs. He posed the same questions to ChatGPT. He shuffled all the responses and asked a number of us to spot the AI answer. NOBODY picked correctly.
