I’ve worked 2 years at PwC. My goal is to get an MBA from a good school and put myself in position to go MBB, EYP, S& etc. I heard MBB is the best chance you’ll have to have employer pay for an mba. In this case wound it make sense to try to apply for a BA level position with one of them?

If you were to apply to BA level at MBB, you’d set yourself back 2 years. The lost years plus the lower earnings over those years would more than offset the cost of the MBA.

BCG 2 what group did you move from?

Have you thought about applying for scholars?

Definitely on my mind but I was told it was very tough to get it since only 14 ppl qualify every year.

You should ask someone in your network at MBB how it works. I was under the impression you needed to have worked there a certain amount of time, maintained certain performance requirements, and also not be promoted to Consultant (or equivalent) yet.

So you’d likely be looking at a 2 year career reset — which is totally fine because you’re early in your career and the brand will pay dividends but just make sure you’re informed of what all that would entail.

Skip MBA, Apply as experienced hire.

What group at PWC are you with?

PwC-DDV?

Are schools even considered in the resale value of a house? Thoughts and insights appreciated!

Hello Everyone,

I am in search of a Project Manager role. I have about 4 + years experience managing projects and in consulting.

I am about concluding the google certificate in project management, and one unique think I bring into any team is my strategic thinking and ability to solve problems in record time.

I am based in Canada and a remote role will be great.

I anticipate your responses and recommendations thank you very much.
