Hi fish. Left consulting for fintech. Rejected SOM sponsorship to join the new firm. Making $140K at 33YO. Should I still do an MBA to transition back into strategy or get a higher paying role?

Why weren’t you making more than $140k at Bain with that many YOE?

like

I was in a Latam office. Pay bands are significantly lower than in US

With Bain on your resume you could literally go anywhere and make more than 140K. If you go Big 4 like EY-P or S& you can probably come in making 160-180k

uplifting

You don’t need to go back for your MBA to get paid more and you’ll have a better work-life balance than you ever would at Bain

Why not go back to Bain?

Left as SAC, could only go back as C1 w/MBA

How do you deal with an HR that ghosts you after 3 interviews that went really well? I landed an offer at Deloitte as a sr. consultant, and then negotiated for a managerial role. I was told all interviewers were really happy with me so she would be glad to arrange a reevaluation for the new role(I was interviewed by 2 Sr. Managers & an MD for Sr. Consultant role and will have to take another round with a partner for the managerial position). I tried following up thrice after, no response.
