Getting sponsored by my firm and required to return afterwards. Are there any industries that will help pay or even buy you out fully of your tuition? Do not want to go back to consulting.

I'm currently in bschool with dozens of sponsored students and I've never heard of one 🤷🏼‍♂️ You'd have to be pretty special, because why wouldn't that company just hire any one of a hundred other MBA students that don't require a buyout?

Someone I know went to a large startup in Southeast Asia after b school and was able to negotiate them paying for business school. He was at MBB before and sponsored - but had a strong background in what they were looking for (not replaceable with any other new MBA hire)

Makes sense - thank you both! Glad to hear it’s at least a rare possibility. I guess you approach it assuming nothing, try negotiating once you have an offer (or once you know they want you), and see what happens

Usually your starting bonus ‘partially’ compensates you for the upfront MBA cost.

I thought $25-30K for consulting jobs, so likely a bit lower for others?

If you def don't want to go back to consulting the sponsorship isn't worth it. I believe it comes into play when schools are looking at allocating scholarship money. Applications ask you explicitly if you are sponsored
