Is it difficult to join MBB 1 year post-MBA from industry? And what level would you come in at in that case?

Nope, so long as you’re from an MBA that they typically hire from you’d be considered, especially in this climate. You’d likely be hired at the post-MBA level (I.e. your year is experience wouldn’t count for much).

The big question you’d face would be why didn’t you apply to consulting during your MBA. What’s changed?

In this job market, they’d be happy to poach consultants from other firms who can start on day 1.

Typically yes—right now it’s much easier given demand. You’d come in as a 1st year post-mba consultant so you’d be 1yr behind your peers.

Very curious, which industry? You can get in with case prep etc. but would caution you that the wlb is drastically different most times. Just make sure you know 100% what you're getting into.

Career advice?

I'm a relatively junior data engineer (2yoe), the only other engineer (senior) that trained me left about a 6 months ago and I negotiated a nice raise for the extra responsibilities.

My performance reviews have been stellar, but my manager is starting to look to hire a senior to help me deliver projects as we do lack capacity right now.

I feel like I might be missing an opportunity to ask for a promotion and hire a junior instead.

Any opinions/tips?

Wonder if anyone can offer advice on which cert to pursue next? I obtained my CompTIA Security+ last year and wondering if I should go for the CySA+ or Pentest+ next. I also have my AWS CCP and will be sitting for the Solutions Architect soon as well. Currently not doing security stuff at work but would love to keep my skills going. I was hoping one of these next certs will help me finally break into a security role and love the idea of pentesting but not sure if the CySA+ is more beneficial.
