I did! Surprisingly easy - all memorization. Just put your college hat back on... admittedly I crammed in the two weeks prior to test and just memorized the subject matter by reading it, taking notes, and rereading (I’m a visual learning so writing down the notes/summary points are key to my memorization, but do what works for you.) good luck!

BA1, agreed. I’m in a smaller market where everyone seems to have oodles of degrees and certifications. I was looking to transition out of consulting and into industry - employers seemed to want it. That said, I don’t think it means much, but people around here are impressed by it. I don’t get it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

My goal is to break into PE potentially but I’m not sure if it’s worth putting in effort for T2 consulting interviews because I believe exits from T2 are more limited compared to an MM IB like JEF. My question really boils down to how do exits from a T2 compare to that of a top MMIB? Appreciate any and all insights!
