I have MBA from NITIE and currently working in Deloitte USI S&O where the work is definitely not strategy consulting. Would like to get into MBB but seems tough. Tried referrals but didn't even get an interview.

Would it make sense to go for second MBA from ISB or abroad and try to get into top front end consulting roles? Quite confused and looking for some advice. Thank you.

Hey OP, get your Resume and/or Cover letter screened by a current MBB employee. NITIE is a solid school and Deloitte S&O should definitely get you interviews at MBB.

MBB has been hiring like crazy since last year. You’ll likely have to wait for a year to get interviews again, depending on when you applied for the roles.

I did second MBA in the US and some things you need to keep in mind.
1) the cost of MBA puts a serious amount of debt on you (around 130k plus). You might think that average pay for consulting is more than that in the US so easy to repay but if you are in major city, you will hardly be able to save 15-20% of your after tax pay
2) Don't go by the average pay because those get inflated by folks with significant pre MBA experience who are citizens
3) there will be very high competition with local candidates and for any client facing job, that is an important factor
My recommendation, if you are keen on second MBA, only go doe top 10 colleges because you already have an MBA from pretty good college.
