T2 consultant, 4 years of work experience

Got admitted to CBS, and debating whether to not go and reapply to HSW next year - is it worth it?

It seems to me that, besides ultra elite jobs that anyways I would not have a chance to given my background, outcomes are largely the same

I am very excited about CBS but it seems a lot of people are HSW or bust

Thoughts?

Unless you are aiming at Private Equity or VC, going to Columbia will not heavily influence your outcome. If you are aiming for PE or VC, you still have a shot from Columbia, but it will be a lot harder than if you were at HSW

Yeah that’s what I’ve heard which is why I think CBS is great for me. Anyways, given my background, PE/ VC would still be tough from HSW.

I suppose, for me, it’s just the additional level of prestige, which I suppose it’s not that big

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence

For context, I want to get into product management at FAANG/fintech with pursuing MBB as a plan B. Thanks in advance!
