Has anyone gone to MBA to break into tech with those 350-400k jobs out of consulting?

Do you mean MBA>Consulting> Tech 350k+
Or
Consulting>MBA>Tech 350k+

Yes to the former, no to the later.

Follow-up question, did you do it recently....cause it doesn't matter if that was a pathway 5 yrs ago.

How do you learn coding and all related for tech jobs while all you have done is consulting to make that pivot?

Both possible. Know people who've done both. If you're talking TC not just base

To the OP’s question, it is highly dependent.

If at MBB, I don’t see what an MBA will get you beyond what you already have in terms of pedigree. No need to go back to school.

If not at MBB and admitted to T7, then maybe there’s an argument. But dude, I wouldn’t be itching to incur more school debt at the moment. Those ROIs are going to plummet.

Those jobs are dead. Heard of AI?

In the world of AI, squads will be much smaller and primarily (or solely) more senior engineers. Product roles seem to be relatively safe and will have even more power (if that is even possible) in organizations as they are less reliant on human engineers.

What's wrong in just sticking around in Consulting if that TC is your only goal? I'm at 350+ after 11 years.

The average big law associate earns $350K+ 4-5 years out of law school ...
