Looking into M Consulting & am trying to figure out the best firm/ role that fits my interests. I want to solve a wide array of business problems through a wide array of creative solutions. (Ex: VR Headset company client wants more adoption. I recommend offering headsets on a subscription model + design a mock partnership w/ a developer that would increase game quality). I also don't want to be @ a firm that only works in select industries. Any recommendations?

What’s “M” consulting? Management consulting?

I would say any major strategy firm and/or the strategy arm of any major firm will do that - MBB, Big 4. The biggest thing you need to keep in mind is methodology. You will need to be able to manage data and modeling to support any recommendations you provide, and/or be able to do things like stakeholder interviews, define and execute an assessment approach, etc. The difference between whether you’ll be executing vs defining the approach will depend on your experience level.

In your example above, you would need materials to substantiate your recommendation. Why this recommendation? What data supports that this is the right approach?

Split on the value of MBA. I am a Big4 Consulting Manager, (5 YOE, 2 of those at Manager level).

Is there value in me doing a MBA? I have no debt, so would be nervous taking on so much in student loans but I am trying to play the long game here. Have you seen experienced consulting managers do MBAs? Am I too late?!
