Looking to network with Canadian MBB 🐠. I have 3.5 years of strategy consulting experience in a big 4 firm in the US and a US MBA (Ivy league if that counts for anything). Please let me know if you are open to connecting..

Ivy League doesn’t count for much here. We hate the Northeast. Firms won’t hire anyone from the North Eastern US until the Leafs beat the Bruins in the playoffs.

Pretty sure Canadian MBB only hires MBAs from the University of Phoenix Online so it may be a little tough to break in with one from an Ivy League.

Amazed of the arrogance... just because you are from US and suddenly you deserve MBB? Ivy League MBA is just another way of saying you didn’t go to M7.

Uh... I did go to M7.. and yeah I do deserve MBB.. air your insecurities somewhere else

I kind of set myself for these comments.. but in all seriousness, please let me if you are open to chatting

Feel free to message me.

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree.

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. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). 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.
