Heading to b school in the fall. Do I roll off my current project ASAP and take some time, or keep collecting pay checks until they kick me out? I like my current project and team but I also want time

Somewhere between option A and B. Give yourself at least a couple weeks before starting school but if you like what you're doing now why stop?

Most of my colleagues left around May/June to travel and enjoy some time off. That's what I plan on doing as well at some point when I decide to apply.

Give yourself at least 3 weeks before you move. First few months of b school is super intense if you're recruiting.

Paycheck you will be very poor

Option B.

If u cant decide for yourself, mba is useless

You haven't even applied yet? How do you figure that you'll be starting in the Fall?

Congrats! Where are you attending?

I've decided to take about a month off before starting, was debating same thing so did the inbetween option

I wouldn't burn bridges by making them kick you out. It's a small world and Accenture is not the worst employer out there.

TIME. I took three months off before and it was the best decision I've ever made - caught up with friends, travelled and relaxed before the craziness began

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
