It’s not too ambitious but you might want to do some introspection to determine whether you really want to optimize for money. You’re likely to be very financially successful no matter what you do, so consider if it’s worth taking a few years longer to get to $1M/yr (or peaking shy of that number) in exchange for other things you value.

At McK, I don’t think the MBA is worth it, since you can get so much of what an MBA offers as a BA, without the additional time and opportunity cost. Whether you should stay in MBB or go to industry will depend entirely on what you think of the MBB experience, which you’ll know a few years from now.

Apart from PE there’s no other place that will get you to $1MM as fast as consulting

An MBA is always worth it as long as it’s from one of the top-top schools, e.g, Kellogg.

If your goal is purely to make money then go into finance. MBB is good but not ideal for buyside so start prepping.

B school also gets you connections outside consulting. You may love MBB and ride it all the way to the partnership, which is great. But you may decide you want to try a startup or something else more creative, in which case those B school connections will be huge. Consultants are super smart but highly risk averse. If you’re looking for real wealth, taking a shot at a Fintech or something else innovative could be more rewarding both financially and personally.

One way to lower opportunity cost is the 1-year MBA at Kellogg. You’ll still get the fun and connections and (in-year/part-time) internship opportunities without burning a hole in your pocket for 2 years and slowing your progression down. Bain also only requires a 1-year return for it.
