I felt I was too young to go into an MBA, the aim was to do my MStats by 25, then MBA by 28-29 and try get into MBB that way

I’m interested in stats (I had a BFinance) but don’t want to be a number cruncher for life, figured it’ll be more relevant as we move into more data driven environment?

If the goal is MBB and you’re looking to get an MBA the path is there. Not sure what your role is in industry but try an take on as much responsibility as you can, work on high impact projects and kill your GMAT. Once I B school, I see no reason as to why you won’t get a shot.

I’m not based in NA, and I do a lot of Internal performance improvement and regulator/board submissions. I was speaking to a Big 4 Financial Services Tech consultant hiring manager, but they wanted me to go into their grad program (effectively a 40% pay cut), which got me thinking about what work MBB would favor as a generalist (other than a S&, Monitor etc)

Get LSA2 before going for SYT!!

I’m not sure I want to go into something heavily Systems focused, and I’m worried LSA2 would lock me into that

Working in a large health system as a quality professional WFH. I rarely see anyone else on my team, and when I do present findings I see no changes happening.

I’ve been in healthcare for years but graduated with a masters in last two years and was hoping for something different. I have been applying to so many jobs and not many calls back. Any advice ?

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing.

Meanwhile I just received a Director offer for a company with a 29% pay bump July 1. If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?

I have a return offer from a big 4! Thoroughly enjoyed the experience as an intern and have no complaints. Would love to go back.

However, a bit confused if I should try and recruit with MBB’s or if I should accept the big 4 offer already and take the sign on bonus?

Would it be a blunder to NOT try recruiting with MBB’s ? Besides the monetary aspect, what are the other things I’d have to think about?
