Not gonna lie, I think getting a FT MBA if you started at MBB or T2 from undergrad is a little silly and pointless unless it’s Stanford or Harvard

For comp alone, possibly agree. For social benefits, network, industry exposure, fun, etc., definitely disagree.

If sponsored it's a no brainer, especially if you've been in consulting since undergrad.

It isn’t a requirement. An mba gives one the ability to have a wide experience in different facets of business. It also positions you to join a leadership program at a Fortune 500 company which is the feeder for ceo track.

Ngl if your firm pays for a M7 MBA it can only help you and the lost earnings are likely immaterial st that point in the long run

The exit opps from MBB are far better than S& so yes immaterial in comparison

These posts tend to come out after someone realizes their GMAT won’t get them into HBS.

I very much benefited from my non HBS, firm-paid MBA. Then and now. As you say, I have the receipts. But hey, if it makes you feel better basically insulting folks like me, I guess I’m good. 🙂

Enrolled in Stern for a few weeks.
The number of the alumni and current students that go to top consulting firms FT& summer intern are countless even for a small class size.
Stern is way more than a finance school. Given its location, do you want to spend your 2 years in a rural area or heart of Manhattan? Location is almost everything for business school. (I have a friend in Cornell that frequently travels about 5 hours to NYC for events.)

Curious what others think about this: a friend of mine has a couple of months of leave this fall to study for the CPA exam (they’ll be paid a reduced salary during their leave), but they mentioned they have no intention of studying for the exam, and instead plan to use that time to look for another job. This rubs me the wrong way, but wanted to hear what others think…

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
