Thumb Rule -
1) When you know Manager is the issue. Then it's Manager.
2) When you don't know or if you are confused, it's your issue.

I’m buying a home! It’s a little tight but here is my monthly cost breakdown ($9k/mo take home):

$300 groceries ($75/week)
$100 eating out

What’s up my consulting fishes!! Manager at Accenture, and really enjoy the HC, Org Analytics, CM, Org Design side of things.

I’d like to continue building my skillset here and venture into product development to facilitate strat consulting for the areas above (sorry for the buzzwords).

In this case, is an MBA required to succeed or progress to the MD, partner, C Suite level? Or should I grind my way through the industry given my interests are so pointed?

Would love a convo and/or guidance.
