Opinion on Second MBA

SC
Big 4 Strategy arm based out of India..

Planning to do a second MBA at INSEAD or M7 for
1. Having a crack at MBB
2. Geography change
3. Front end consulting

Do you think it makes sense or am I crazy with this idea

Geography change seems to be the most apt reason. If you have a tier 1 MBA from India then getting front end consulting & MBB would be easy a few years down the line.

The cost would be high, but if you want MBB, then yes that’s probably a way

Stuck in the same boat. It is the only clean option to migrate to better countries. But MBA from US is a HUGE financial burden. Second MBA is common with people who have the means to pursue it.

Clean option is to find a job or take a transfer

If you’ve money and time why not

Are you already not doing front end consulting in the strategy arm of a bit 4? Seems strange

Hi All,

I wanted to ask two questions for the application process at MBB, I was a terrible student in high school thus my SAT scores are terrible but I graduated college with a 3.6, so will that impact my chances at MBB and be screened out by the HR system? Also is there a cover letter template to submit with my apps. Would anyone be willing to connect? Thank you for your time

Here’s a hypothetical:

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷
