How much value does the name of my MBA program hold if I exit as a PL or Principal at BCG? Does it have any impact on the level or salary i exit at?

of course the MBA follows you, why would it not? Someone with an HBS degree is always going to be more marketable than someone with a less prestigious degree assuming all else is equal. How large that effect is depends on many factors, no one can predict that for you

H/S/W > MBB > Kelley

If the MBA is a strong brand, like Harvard, it definitely stays with you and makes a difference. If the brand is weak enough that it's overshadowed by MBB brand, probably not so much. Having an MBA will still help, but the brand is less important.

Depends on where you are going. None of my EM/ AP friends who went to tech were asked about their BSchool at all. All their interviews came through McK alum referrals. I can see this being a bigger thing in PE/HF or SOME F500 but given the fact that bulge bracketPE investment roles are almost outside the realm of possibility for consultants, this again isn’t likely to be a big deal
