Im strongly considering an MBA. Only thing that deters me is cost. I’ve heard of some tier 1 firms that will offer tuition reimbursement for returning interns post-MBA, how common is that? Also considering pivoting to a firm that offers scholarships. Any tips/insight on this? Thank you!

You have to project the cost for your personal post mba goal. To me, a top mba is worth full loans as my post mba goal would land me $275-350k+ for the rest of my career assuming I never do my own business or become a MD. In addition, the security of having a network of high networth business executives willing to come to your aid when needed is a tremendous value. Finally, it seems like memories and friendships you’ll charish the rest of your life. I’ve met partners and SMs at my firm who are still tight with classmates from their b school and still go on trips with them each year even though they graduated decades ago. To me, that seems worth $200k in the grand scheme of things

Not right away, I mean on avg I should be able to qualify for $275k+ jobs the rest of my career. Also, IB pays that well in year 1. $150-160k vase, $100k bonus, plus early sign on bonus

I know Deloitte and ZS both do tuition reimbursement for returning interns

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷

Or is an MBA sooner a good move because of my big career transition (and future lateral)?
