I did a first round with them, it's very high level. I work in security so it was "what security trends do you see crossing industries?" "What would you say is the top threat organizations face right now?" With big four it was very network/security architecture related and the type of work I've done in the past.

Yup! I recommend applying, you never know.

In my opinion, no haha. You'd prob be making 135-140 when u leave, which is what managers make. Just really depends if u hate ur ho enough to incur the 120k student loan debt. To some it's worth it if they wanna switch fields.

Thanks for the info. Did you pass on the next round or not make it?

Also, is it really required to have a top MBA to even get in the room?

I don't haha but IT is very different, especially with the demand in security, MBAs aren't required. For strategy, it's pretty tough, at least without some sort of MS. I just got an email from a recruiter one day. It was a weird experience, I thought the interview went well but I honestly never heard back. I emailed the recruiter and called...she never responded.

Thanks I will. Def need to get the mba first and prob move up in the ranks a bit more

A friend of mine went to Bain straight from undergrad. Not sure what your level is now, but if you're willing to come in as an associate/analyst might not hurt applying.

Senior level, up for manager next year. Not sure how important getting th MBA is anymore. Is it worth the debt? 🤔

Ho=job*

Gotcha.

Great insight. Much appreciated thanks

CFP study programs:

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement? On his website it looks like each module has a 4-day virtual class which I wouldn't be able to attend due to working full time. Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?

TIA

When training at home what did you need that wasn't supplied by RSM? My home office is well stocked but I want to be as prepared as possible.
