It’s incredibly difficult. Level of incredibly difficult depends on your starting point.

Top performer analyst at BB or top tier boutique bank - hard but main recruiting pipeline.
Top performer pre-MBA consultant at an MBB or top tier 2 doing PE work, very difficult but also a way in.

Anything else is almost impossible. You will see examples but they are very specific and incredibly rare.

Bottom line is that there are way more qualified people for a very small number of seats.

No because they hire the best of the best. If what you say was true professional athletes would be working for free.

I am currently working at KPMG as an Analyst. I want to do my MBA in HR and Operations. The feedback that I received from people is that growth in HR is slightly restricted and that HRs don't get hikes (while switching) similar to that of Consulting or Finance or Marketing?

I am not solely interested in HR and am open to other domains as well.
