I’m a first year new hire, 22, working at a big consulting firm. What age would make the most sense for me to get my MBA? Not sure of what I want to do in the future..

I recommend the “age” where you figure what you want to do with your future. Don’t get an mba before that because you won’t be able to maximize the value the education can provide if you don’t know what value you want to gain out of it.

First be sure what you want to do in future than plan MBA if that’s what you want.

Enrolled in Stern for a few weeks.
The number of the alumni and current students that go to top consulting firms FT& summer intern are countless even for a small class size.
Stern is way more than a finance school. Given its location, do you want to spend your 2 years in a rural area or heart of Manhattan? Location is almost everything for business school. (I have a friend in Cornell that frequently travels about 5 hours to NYC for events.)
