Starting MBA this fall but considering applying to MBB now given the hiring spree. Seems like a free shot since the MBA is supposed to be a full reset. Am I missing something or is there no downside?

MBB hiring spree? Does this apply to IT consulting roles?

like

No downside. Apply now and skip the MBA.

like

Only “downside” is that you might start with less tenure, but it’s not really a downside since it would probably take you less than 2 years to catch up anyway (putting you ahead overall).

Other potential consideration is whether an MBA is something you want for yourself longer term. To my knowledge none of the MBB firms sponsor experienced hires for MBAs, and the opportunity cost for getting one goes up as you progress in your career. If it’s something you really want, it’s probably better to pursue it now rather than later.

Feel free to DM me if you have other questions - was faced with the same choice a few years ago and am happy with my decision not to pursue an MBA.
