Had my start date pushed back to 2021. I’m now considering a masters degree. Any advice if it would be helpful for consulting? And if so, would one degree be more helpful? Finance? Business Analytics? Accounting? Supply Chain? Completely open on what part of consulting I want to end up in. Would I be better off spending the next 6-9 months doing certifications (Tableau, AWS, Salesforce, Six Sigma, etc.) or learning new skills like python or SQL? Want to make good use of this free time.

Hey all, first time poster here and still consider myself fairly new to consulting so please be kind.

Could Product Manager be SC level if I have my MBA or is it not even considered a Strategy role? And do they only consider you an “MBA hire” if it’s top tier MBA? Lastly, I’ve seen quite a big salary range for MBA hires. Anyone care to share the latest? TIA.
