So screwed up my final case interviews in undergrad at Deloitte and Bain, still bitter, ended up working in PE FP&A and now transaction advisory (graduated 2018). Long story short, was a top performer at my old job, left it to make more money, and have not liked the culture or my position of my new job. Have a offer to change to another firm w/ promotion, same job, but concerned how this would look on application. Plan was apply in two years, and get into big 3 or start company, thoughts?

Is MBB and management consulting losing its value among young people as employer? Since i noticed majority of young people currently want to work for FAANG, startups, crypto, Unicorns, want to open their own things, etc. I guess in 2000s and 2010s consulting was a top choice for graduates.

I’ve been with my current company for a little over 5 years now and since the start of the pandemic have been WFH. I absolutely love WFH and have always wanted a position in which I could WFH.

My current company also said I am maxed out in term of what they are willing to pay salary wise.

I keep hearing that Booth’s MBA program is rigorous (maybe the most rigorous out of M7). That said, how much more work are students expected to do compared to HBS, Wharton, Kellogg, etc.? I don’t know if this is an outdated opinion, considering a lot of MBAs are very demanding. Booth is personally my top choice for having a flexible curriculum & 2-3 days of classes. But I really want to know what to expect around the “rigorous” label. Does it mean I’ll be buried in coursework the other 2-3 days?
