Know I don’t want IB / PE / VC or MBB coming out of an MBA. FAANG seems okay but overhyped - are there no other exits with great ROI?

As a MBA, OP may be reporting into David. But David is also a stand up guy with an incredible amount of patience I am told

Don’t underrate a strong corporate position. But if you’re ruling out like 80% of jobs that people get after MBA, I’m not sure why you want an MBA.

Why are you doing an MBA?

IB/Consulting definitely not gonna help financially in the short term...it looks more like going to a hedge fund and if you got lucky you FIRE, if not you jump back to your boring low pay day job till you make par 👀

What about Nestle or Coca Cola?

Hedge funds pay the most by far.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
