One year of experience at PA, is it possible to switch to management consulting? Will I start from the entry level just like the new graduates?

It’s maybe (big maybe) possible at a small firm, yes you’d be entry level as you have no experience and no MBA.

It will be a huge uphill battle without an MBA or graduating from a top school.

Maybe you can get into a smaller, less prestigious firm. Or focus on management consulting in a niche area

Easier path would be trying to transfer to the Advisory practice of your current firm (if you have an Advisory group) since they already do strategy work. After a few years there you could apply for a prestigious MBA then apply to the top firms

Foreign LLM student here. I plan to take the NY bar exam in February. I’m thinking of taking a bar prep course (most likely Barbri).

The difference in price is substantial – 2.5k for the traditional course vs 6k for the extended one. Any thoughts/recommendations on which one I should take? In case it is helpful, I come from a civil law country. Thanks!
