If MBA programs were to be ranked strictly by strategy consulting exit opps, would the T10 (M7 + haas, tuck, SOM) still hold true, or would any T15 programs / non-US programs make the cut?

It is a curve, not a binary. The lower you get on the ranking, the slimmer the odds are of accessing top strategy opportunities. You could still do it from Rice, but your odds are like 1 in 10 rather than 1 in 3 like at an M7.

Are those really “odds”? I don’t think the same caliber person would have 10 percent shot at a slightly lower ranked school and then a 33 percent chance at a higher ranked school. Sure there is prob a halo effect associated with top schools but I don’t think it’ll dramatically change your individual chances ( ie maybe give you a small boost - not 2 or 3x your chances).

I have an interview with Korn Ferry for an associate principal role and am curious about others’ experiences have been with work-life balance here. Also, I have an idea of what I should be compensated in this type of role, but any insights on how they pay compared to others would be helpful. Are you traveling during the pandemic or have client interactions been virtual? Lastly, if you are a consultant here, are you on billable hours? My current consulting role is not - so this would be new.

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago. An agency recruiter is trying to convince me to move into a GSVP account role, assuring me "at that level it's all strategy." (I dont think she understands the words she's using. Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?
