MBA? Or no? That's a big gate in consulting. What level job do you think you would do in consulting?

You’ll be fine if the degrees are from top schools/programs. That’s the gate for you.

You could likely get job as an engagement manager. You sound qualified. I know a guy hiring at a smaller shop. Where are you?

A lot of it is getting your foot in the door. Networking matters. Do you have contacts?

Few peripheral contacts, no one that I could or would directly reach out to though. VP1 can you message me privately?

Happy to, how do I do that?

I have no idea!? Anyone know??
