Depends on where you are in your career but generally MBB as long as it’s core consulting

Why not MBB for more than 2 years?

like

IMO, getting into an MBB will give you more/better long term opportunities than an MBA. However you must stay more than just the 2 years at one of the firms to get them

For earnings, definitely MBB.

However, if you are talking about perceveid prestige/brand then M7 MBA. People might not know Bain or BCG but will surely know Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, MIT…

but prestige without the money is kinda worthless no?

T10 UG + MBB + HSW MBA, rule the world 🤑

MBB. Alumni network is as good, at the least. And at the end of the day, anyone who values where you went to school more than your actual work has their priorities backward.

But say for example you run for public office or worked in anything non-consulting. Saying he went to Harvard vs he worked at MBB still sounds more “prestigious” which then opens more doors no?

Interested in joining the Reserves, but I’m guessing that’s way too much with a consulting career? No ROTC or previous military experience so I’d have to go through OCS/OTS as well.
Or is it better to wait until I exit to industry and pursue my interest in the military then?
Any and all advice appreciated.
