Hi! New to consulting with < 1 YOE. As I consider my long-term future, I see that job postings for the big4 often recommend having an MBA or "some other advanced degree." That being said, which degree do you find to be the most useful for upward mobility purposes: MBA or something else? Why?

TYIA!

If you could work at an agency for the rest of your career, would you do it? Or do you see being a professional creative as a means to another career altogether?

I’m one of the top performers in the company and got invited to the company’s emerging leadership program.

How do I leverage this ‘off-time’ into something productive in order to progress faster?

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?

First day of 30mg vyvanse today. Had a rush of energy and hyperfocus (too much so) about 2-4 hours in, but had a complete crash 5hrs after taking the pill (just a wave of fatigue, felt very good after a quick 15min nap actually) and not sure if it had any effect after. Is this normal? Should I stick it out for a few days or is this a big sign that I’m not on the right meds/dose? Nervous to keep trialling this during the workday since a midday crash is not ideal. Appreciate any advice!

For McKinsey PEI (power round), should my stories be around 5-6 minutes containing a good level of detail, or really generic (~2 minutes) and just let the interviewers ask me questions on what they feel are most important to them? I’m really eager to present the details because I think these are elements that can show my fit with the company well, but am hearing some people say that >2 mins people get lost. But some details are important to provide background (industry specific)…
