This. Went to a large state uni in the US. Did boutique consulting for several years and developed deep functional expertise. Went to Big A for several years. Moving onto McK next month.

My wife went to Essex for a Master’s and ended up joining McK later on as an experienced hire. It is really about role fit and your expertise. If you become a “go to” person on a specific topic (e.g., due diligences, cybersecurity strategy, etc) you have a stronger chance of coming into MBB than as a generalist.

I currently work in Healthcare as a respiratory therapist for 10 years. I have been at my job, currently, for a little over 5 years. Alongside my bachelors degree I also have a masters degree in healthcare administration. Although, I am happy with my current position as a respiratory therapist, there seems to be not a lot career growth with where the department I currently work in within my healthcare system. I am wondering what doors/opportunities I have if I were to utilize my masters degree?
