Any insight on Colliers ME strategy/implementation consulting practice?
Is it a career dead-end if I want to transition to a larger firm in the future? They seem to be growing really fast, so I feel like there’s room for quick growth and career advancement, based on some conversations I’ve had, but I don’t wanna shoot myself in the foot long term. Also heard lots of MBB and other tier 1/tier 2 firms are contracting them for parts of their engagements. Thoughts? Colliers International

I seriously doubt there’s a significant MBB recruiting advantage for CBS like you say. It’s all about the candidate. If you feel like Tuck is the better fit, you should absolutely go to Tuck
Coach
Go to Tuck. Tuck is an MBB factory and has the social aspect you’re looking for.
I’d lean Tuck even without the scholarship. You’ll likely get the interview regardless at either and at that point it doesn’t matter what school you’re from. Knowing you have better fit at Tuck I’d take it no question.
Yes. Either will get you interviews for NY/NJ MBB, assuming you take the process seriously. After that, networking won’t matter- it’s purely your interview performance. Between these two, go with where you will enjoy yourself for a few years.
And b) the chances of getting first round interview at CBS is actually a bit higher than Tuck given there might be some self selection (Boston is popular office choice for Tuck) c) will being a scholarship recipient provide a higher chance of getting the first round interview at Tuck?
Feeling a bit conflicted so would appreciate your thoughts!
Mentor
If it’s not a named scholarship it won’t really help. Regardless both schools are target schools so landing an offer will be on you not the school. In this case you might have a bit more alumni resources and they really pull for you at tuck so I’d give the edge to tuck.
If NE MBB is your goal. I’d honestly take tuck w/money over any M7 that’s not HSW.
What’s your profile? What’s your gmat score?Nice you got a full ride at CBS.
