Welcome to Deloitte OP! Consulting is very fast-paced and can have a learning curve. Some tips:

1. Find both a coach (or other senior mentor if your coach isn’t great) who you can ask big career questions and a peer mentor/friend who you can ask silly questions (where to submit time sheets, where to find template slides, how to navigate the firm, etc.)

2. Get very good at core consulting skills. This means making ppt slides, working in Excel, client communication, anticipating client needs.

3. Find a community of former clinicians who have also made that jump. Deloitte has one and they can be a great community of people with similar experiences and a sense of good projects/accounts to hop on.

4. Listen and learn. Nobody expects you to be perfect day one. But ask questions if you genuinely don’t understand something, set up regular check-ins with your project lead, solicit feedback, and show a willingness to grow and improve.

5. Don’t be disheartened if your first project isn’t perfect or your first reviews aren’t stellar. Keep learning, growing, and moving forward. It gets easier over time and before you know it, you’ll be a pro consultant :)

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree.

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

If I finish my MBA with extra loan money, should I pay it back to reduce the principal? Or invest it into the market? From my perspective it seems like it makes more sense to invest since the market is likely to generate more than my current loan rate. Although having debt also provokes some anxiety.

For additional info: my loan is a private loan of ~100k at ~5.2%. I have no other debt.
