Hey guys if I accept an associate offer from McKinsey rn, I was planning to apply for an mba this year. If I get into a good program what’s the likelihood of getting it paid for, and do I return as an associate just at a higher band? So folks return as engagement managers ever?

Associate is the post-MBA level. My understanding is that you can only come in at EM with significant experience matching the role.

It’s unlikely they’ll pay for it. Sometime they’ll pay for school for Associates or EMs but if you’re there less than a year first it’s unlikely. BAs have to be at the firm for over a year and a half before they’re eligible.
If turn down the offer now and do an MBA and reapply you’d still come in as an Associate. Although you may make it to EM in a year instead of 2.

We won’t pay for it

I left Audit at a midsize firm to join KPMG erp implementation consulting about 6 months ago. So far they seem to only want to staff me on projects with a heavy focus on technical accounting and audit. Spoke to a lot of others who have left and seems like being pigeonholed or staffed on projects not related to the actual core work of the practice is the common reason. I've been on the fence about whether I should stay and hope to be staffed on better projects in the future or leave soon...

Hey FishBowl Friends, so I’m currently trying to break into tech sales/FinTech and I feel that due to my previous work history, I might not look like the ideal candidate on paper but I’m an extremely fast learner and very coachable.

I really want something that’s remote and steady, any recommendations on how to spruce myself up?
