MBA is usually hyped up on here....Anyone have a bad experience with leaving a good consulting job to go back for MBA? Loss of salary, loss of network etc.

That’s a narrow view. If you get into M7, you get to meet the most interesting people, get exposure to different industries, easily get interviews with most top companies and change the direction. Yes, you will have to compete with the brightest classmates. Yes, you will get rejected, a lot, actually. But it’s an experience you will never get anywhere else.

If you measure things strictly in monetary terms, it’s not as high ROI, especially coming from consulting. If you are not changing the industry, maybe you have less to gain. Still, none of my classmates regret it.
