In late stage interviews for GS, BCG, and three F500s. I’m a year and a half into my career, the F500s all pay base of 200+ but I know the branding of MBB/GS looks better, but pays 50k less base and WLB will be a lot worse. What are some things to consider? Leaning towards F500 due to pay (so I can invest in rental properties) and because I’m starting MBA next fall as part of a deferred entry program. l know I can always get an MBA and join MBB/GS post grad, since salary progression is quicker.

Easier said than done😂

Progression at BCG will be way faster than industry. If you come in at SA then you’ll be way past 200 in a couple years and probably 3-5% annually in industry

If you get a BCG offer and you really want an mba you can try to get it sponsored anyway and save yourself a lot more money plus have a guaranteed job when you’re done.

If $ is your goal: Make sure you get the BCG offer, then go to F500 for 1 year until MBA, then join BCG post-MBA, leveraging the fact that you already got an offer. I doubt you'll progress much faster after 2yr MBA break than of you just join after MBA.

Same may work with GS, just need to decide if you want to do IB (if you're interviewing for front office) or consulting

That’s what I’m weighing right now. I know the MBA will help me and I’d be able to reach the same companies through on campus recruitment opportunities.
