MF unless it’s Bain, which has been on a strong decline for the past decade.

What's been the rationale behind bain's decline?

Define your goals and it should become more clear. Want to stay long term? Promote with or without b school? Want to max comp? Want best b school placement? Specific industries or strategies? Most tolerable WLB? Preference for 2 yr program vs 3? Not sure at all and just want best optionality?

helpful

Also top UMM in my opinion (I’m just one random person though).

like

In my opinion, MF is better in networking and overall.

like

If you have the option, choose MF at associate level

Better networking, more resources, great exit opportunities
