Graduating an MBA program into a post MBA consultant role at an MBB firm. By the time I graduate I’ll have ~ $100K in student loans. How manageable is my loan situation?

Not trying to tee off on the OP, but it feels like someone with an MBA and an offer from a blue chip consultancy should be able to figure this out for themselves. You’ve got the tools. Use them.

That’s a bit over $1k/mo (over 10yrs) with monthly comp of ~$13k (that’s likely to grow over your career).

Don’t know how you spend, but prob very manageable.

Extremely. Also if you have a spouse/partner who doesn’t have that kind of debt - becomes super easy 😁😁 I pay my loans, plus 50% of household costs and my spouse covered our home down payment.

Graduated with the same debt load, paid it off in 7 years. And that included supporting my wife in grad school for 2 of those years.

I saved 80k in 2 years on 75k base so very doable

In a similar situation, it’s pretty easy to pay back quickly. Would recommend exploring refinance options depending who your loans are through though, I’ve found private lender rates often significantly lower than PLUS/other federal loan rates

I’ve heard you cannot take write offs for your student loans if you refinance through a private lender. Still worthwhile?

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!
