I’m a Medicaid Consultant for my state with 10 years of experience. My job entails policy and procedures, data analysis, training and working with local government entities and private providers. I want to break into the private sector (Consultation/Business) as the pay is much higher and I have a better chance getting promoted. I have a masters but it’s in psychology, I’m wondering if I should obtain an MBA or should I get certifications? Thoughts?

Any success stories using an admissions consultant? Having trouble with the price, but it’s not much in the grand scheme of an MBA and I don’t want to look back and think I half-assed it.

Currently a Wealth Advisor for Citi but I honestly hate it here with a passion it’s the worst company I’ve ever worked for in my life and I’ve been in Wealth Management in the banking channel for over a decade. Series 7, Series 63, Life, CFP, ChFC, and soon to have my MBA with a focus in Mergers & Acquisitions. I’m look to enter another area of Finance at this point instead of starting over somewhere else from scratch, but not sure what direction to go. Interested in Investment Banking or M&A.

Do references really work for big four companies? I have 2 yrs of exp at Accenture as a Data Analyst/Senior Analyst with an MBA and would like to switch companies but want to make sure I do this right

Jr PjM/BA 4 YOE in Tech Implementation Consulting. Beginner skills in Python, JS, HTML, CSS, AWS, SailPoint. Moderate in Azure, Okta. Have PMP, Certified Scrum Master, M.Sc., BBA. Want useful skills, but must focus energy and time. Recent projects and team just not filling my cup. Cloud Architecture, DevOps, InfoSec, IAM all seem interesting and highly rewarding. Taking CompTia N+ soon, and realizing its low demand. What certs & projects should I do to land a technical role within 1 yr?

I’m scheduled for my PMP test in November. Is signing up for the PMI Study Hall prep plan recommended? What other study methods do you recommend to help with passing the test?

Do the CISA questions from just the DB appear on the actual exam? If not, do you still learn enough by reading the questions and answers to pass?

Case prep Q: how did you learn to write a good structure right at the beginning? My approach ends up being fine but the written framework continues to be a struggle and not as good as I'd like. (Cont)

Hey everyone,

How is the hiring going on atm for the below-mentioned positions -London:

1 - Associate PEPI position (Mckinsey)
2 - Associate - Generalist (Mckinsey)
3 - Senior Associate - PIPE (BCG)

I have around 2.5 years of experience in a boutique consulting firm and am contemplating between PE vs generalist role. Around 60% of the projects I have done are in PE practice in my current firm so not sure if I am eligible to apply for PIPE/PEPI.

Anyone from Bain willing to jump on a call/chat to discuss my fit at Bain? I believe I have a decent consulting skillset for an entry level position but other hurdles - such as international, MS from non target, experience with niche fintech unicorn - which make it difficult to get traction on online app. If it adds more credibility, I have interviewed with McK in the past and had a BCG referral from a PL recently which was rejected.

I have 1 YOE in strategy consulting at a Big 4, planning to apply for BA/AC roles at MBB. I’ve read they prefer you to list test scores on the application. I’ve never taken the GMAT, so is my ACT still ok to include even though it’s nearly a decade old? 99th percentile fwiw

For people who’ve been at BCG/McK and subsequently or prior at Bain, did you notice any meaningful differences in day-to-day support resources (e.g., slide production) or general expertise from MB to Bain?

Anyone worked at multiple FAANG companies? I’m trying to choose between 2 and can’t decide.
