It’s actually pretty much the only way to get into heaven these days so I’d say a great deal.

Can also help as your get out of jail free card for any crime you’d ever commit, and a way to make sure your steaks are always cooked to a perfect medium rare.

Generally speaking, people will always be nicer to you and want to date you and carry your bags and stuff, since you’ll for life carry the unmistakeable scent of having once worked for an mbb.

^A1, there’s a reason why the answers are satirical- it’s a very subjective question that cannot be answered in a comment.

The brand does have value, but it’s not going to hand hold you and bring you future jobs. Similar to going to a top school, it’s going to open doors for you, but your career is what you make of it at the end of the day.

Know this is a long shot, but if I’m counseled out of one MBB, what are the chances I could get an equivalent job at another? And if not another MBB, thinking that a T2 or B4 could be possible? I’m not even sure I want to stay in consulting, but also feel like I didn’t get a fair shot at it

Can anyone let me know how easy it is to apply to a consulting firm in Dubai directly coming from London? I am currently working at a T2 strategy firm in London and my partner and I want to relocate in ~1.5 years. My firm does not have an office in Dubai whilst my partners firm does. Is it possible to apply straight (rather than moving laterally in London, waiting a few years then transferring?) interested in MBB views too. (I would have roughly 2.5 YOE by then)
