Has anyone here (MBB or similar hours) ever attempted to do a masters part-time? I feel like it’s out of reach for me unless I stop working or switch jobs, but would love to hear other perspectives.

Are we even allowed to? Personally think it’s doable: weekend classes and few hours of assignments during week

I was finishing one right when I started at McK (6 month overlap). Was brutal and I was junior back then with fewer responsibilities. Could never imagine doing it at my current level

Masters in what?
I’ve considered taking education leave to do one. But no way could do one with my hours

One of my coworkers in IB did a coding boot camp on the weekends. Took about 9 months

I wrote my PhD thesis during my first 6 months at BCG. It was a terrible, terrible idea.

Yes had 8 month overlap with my MS (coursework only) when i started. Wasnt too bad tbh

Dude, just get a free MBA at a top skool with 24 month party 🎉 gap

I am trying to figure out how to switch to SWE. I have a masters in civil engineering and have a good background in higher level math. It looks like the better coding boot camps are quite expensive.

I’m looking to get into the best position possible after getting an education in CS (get a job quick and good pay).
