For those of you that have an MBA, was it worth the effort and money? I'm considering going to Georgetown full-time and would really appreciate any insight from folks on the other side.

Easy to get to Deloitte federal consulting from there...the rest they make nearly impossible. Fundamental lack of resources and reach particularly for MBB. Think it through.

MBA definitely yes, Gtown MBA maybe not... Look for other schools, if you are from DC, Darden, UVA and Wharton can be good options; all consulting firms (MBB, PwC & Strategy&, Deloitte, Accenture, E&Y...) are coming on grounds at these schools and that really helps getting a job (I think 30% of my class went into consulting).

Hi everyone, I'm new to Canada and want to start my career here in the Financial and Banking industry.

As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.
