Why do you need an MBA to do this? Your management consulting experience is and should be enough to get you there. Not trying to be a hard ass, just be ready to answer that question because people may ask you later-

Don’t waste money on MBA if you’re goal is TS at Big 4

Depends on what it is within Transaction advisory... this could certainly make sense to pivot into a Deals Advisory or Deals Strategy/CDD role. But coming from management consulting? Agree that moving into a FDD or Valuation group wouldn’t make sense

If Transaction advisory is your goal, get your CPA and you should be good to recruit.

I think rather than FDD the OP meant transaction advisory like Big 4 M&A consulting, DDV, or Corporate Finance

Lol. Dude, you would probably get it if you applied now.

Hi all,
Need an advice. I am confused between doing masters or learn tech stack and increase experience and salary.
*My primary goal is to earn more.*
If masters I have to do in US or UK, so GRE, GMAT.
If for learning and tech experience I can learn tech stacks.
But I am confused between this.
Could you please tell or suggest what would be a better choice? Is doing masters in US or UK is a better ROI or be in India and gain exp and earn more by switching?
Currently I am a Java developer.
TIA
