Planning to do an MBA (at a T20 university) starting this Fall with a goal of working as a strategy consultant at MBB or T2 consulting firm (LEK, OW, etc.). Do you think it’s the right time to do an MBA? Also, do you think that the consulting market will bounce back in 6-8 months for internship opportunities next summer?

I think it’s a great time. Get your degree while the economy is figuring itself out. Recruitment for internships next summer is already in full swing. I’m spending a whole day at my school’s campus soon holding events

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?
