Quick Poll—If I want to be a C Suite executive at a notable company (F500) one day, is making it to Partner at an MBB significant enough to then exit, or do I also need an MBA even at that point? Cont

McKinsey is well known for placing the most F500 CEOs in the world.

You need P&L experience, you need direct industry or close adjacent experience. So if you can get this via the partner path, then you can get a VP role and work your way up. Else enjoy SVP of Strategy or CSO(which isn't really a strong C position at most F500s .. at least not yet)

Thank you. That’s informative!

I can’t imagine that MBB partners (or anyone at a comparable level) with and without MBAs are ever differentiated

like

The hypothetical I’m presenting assumes the partner is a partner and has no MBA. The question is around that person’s ability to attain a c suite job without the MBA. The question of “can I get to partner without an MBA” is certainly interesting, but separate to my question

Wonder if anyone can offer advice on which cert to pursue next? I obtained my CompTIA Security+ last year and wondering if I should go for the CySA+ or Pentest+ next. I also have my AWS CCP and will be sitting for the Solutions Architect soon as well. Currently not doing security stuff at work but would love to keep my skills going. I was hoping one of these next certs will help me finally break into a security role and love the idea of pentesting but not sure if the CySA+ is more beneficial.

What is the obsession and appeal for MBB among MBA grads? Is it really that amazing - from afar it seems like it may be romanticized (maybe not the right word) among applicants. I know it’s way better than the work I do now, so I’m not knocking MBB at all. It’s super impressive. Maybe a better way to phrase it is that MBA applicants seem to have a fairy tale view of consulting as a whole. I get the impression that people think a job in consulting is a magic ticket anywhere

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.

It’s hard to trust the partners/leadership when they want us to return to office as being better when we increase offshoring? Also, the pressure on billable hours when all that really matters is how much our fixed labor costs vs. how much we can bill (which is usually fixed fee or at least a range) and the fixed labor costs of offshoring is significantly cheaper so the hours don’t matter. Am I mistaken by this viewpoint?
