Sure, someone who went HBS to BCG. Mgmt consulting is never hard to get into from an M7 (assuming you're ok with B4/T2)

Sweet, thanks!

I guess the biggest questio is "Is it worth it?"

That depends on so many things. IMO, no, but for many people it would be a good move.

Should I renege offer from MBB?

An MBA recent grad. I signed with MBB last year. However, I have always wanted to do tech PM. I couldn’t find PM job in Fall and just signed MBB offer I have. I recently got an FAANG offer. It’s PM function, hard to break in with consulting experience. I declined the new offer during interview stage and again after they gave me initial offer, but it is coming back with 80k more in annual compensation. It made me so torn!! Should I renege MBB offer?
