MBB and Big 4 folks - question regarding tuition benefits. I left D for Corp strat this year for family reasons and better job security during pandemic; my biggest regret is probably not being able to take advantage of tuition reimbursement, and I’m still thinking about ways to get my MBA.
IIRC Deloitte offered partial reimbursement to post-MBA hires if they MBA-interned at D. Do MBB or other Big 4 offer this same or similar benefit? Evaluating whether eventual return to consulting is worth it.

I'm not in sales per se but I manage my company's largest wholesale account ($150 million per/yr account). It's a great company, awesome culture, good benefits, flexibility, but the pay is not great ($60K/yr). All the pros outweighed the mediocre pay, but now with inflation rising, my paycheck isn't going as far and I'm having a really hard time trying to figure out if I should start looking elsewhere or if I should ask my boss for a raise.

currently tossing up between staying at a global company (who is in the process of some positive changes) with an amazing manager who supports my career and flexible working … however comes with the inherit issues that come with a long standing global company

compared with a role at a smaller mga, higher salary (around 30%) more , more visibility career wise and some great employee benefits , management seem to be supportive and low staff turnover

which would you choose here

Hello! I have a two part question: 1) is it worth it to obtain an SHRM specialty credential if I don’t have the broader SHRM certification? 2) has anyone gotten the People Analytics or Talent Acquistion credential?

Which would you pick: MBB strategy consultant or FAANG Product Manager ?
