Hadn't considered getting an MBA until someone mentioned I could double my salary doing the same work. I currently have an MPP. Was my friend right/wrong? I would only go if I could get funding for it

Only get an MBA if you really want to. You cannot depend on the salary increase. Also, I think you should get it only if you want to change your career in my opinion

Del2, based on things I've read on here you'd be brought on as a associate making 130-140k.

A2 - how does that make sense? How does a manager with 8 years consulting experience (+4 industry) and an MBA become an associate??

Just the way it works over at the MBB apparently....I'm only going off what I've read on here. Ur track might be expedited tho

Yeah... F that lol I will have worked to damn hard and eaten a lot of shit to become a manager to fall all the way back to Analyst and go through the hell all over again. Unless someone can convince me otherwise....

Haha associate at McK is equivalent to SC if that makes u feel better.

Can our MBB friends chime in on this? I'm curious to know, if I Royal Rumble my way upto Manager in a Big4 is it worth applying to an MBB? I'm okay with Associate there but only if I know there's a strong precedence of an expedited EM track for ppl with 5-6 years of Big4 advisory work.

Hi everyone, I work at an early stage start up that just closed our round A. I just hired a director below me, however when it was time to come up with an offer I was removed from the conversation.

Not sure if they didn’t want me seeing the offer or if this is normal for early start ups.

If you are on a billable project but happen to have a day we’re you aren’t asked to do much, do you still bill the 8 hours for being on call. Or do you only bill the 1–2 hours you work that day on client work? Less than 1 YOE. Curious on your thoughts on billing 8 hours a day even if you don’t necessarily work the whole time. Is this something you have done? I also under stand that billing less than what you work is not ideal, “eating hours.” But what about billing more than you “actually” work
