Damn BA1 might as well just quit

I’ve gone through both - started at Bain out of an ivy undergrad. I think Bain definitely has given me stronger professional connections in the near term, though I certainly am grateful for my undergrad network too!

Depends on what your metric is. In general, I’d say MBB, especially bc many HYPSM UGs -> MBB is a highly desired path and bc good work exp typically translates well while good education may not. However, HYPSM UG may give better connections, as you tend to form better relationships there than at MBB (somewhat limited to cohort). Of course, both would be ideal🤷‍♂️
