MBA is the "easiest" way. But, like everything else, it's all about who you know. If you want it bad enough, I'm sure you could network your way to an offer.

Honestly, nothing is impossible. I had a sub 3.0 gpa, shitty ass state school. I networked my ass off and have managed to weave my way into top tier finance (think GS/MS) and consulting firms. Come up with a strategy and get after it like its your only purpose in life.

At least this B does

Tech or strategy focused? Not sure if MBBs have anything going on in the tech space?

D1, check out McKinsey Analytics

Thanks EY2 and BCG.

McKinsey Analytics is rapidly growing and so is McKinsey Digital Labs. Both are hybirds between the tech and strategy.

Also posted over in tech bowl. Looking for advice on whether pursue a CS degree. I’m an older guy shifting to SWE. I finished bootcamp last May & about to start my first jr role at Oracle OCI. Late 30’s with a couple of kids. Is it worth it for me to seek a CS degree at this time/soonish? I’m not afraid of the extra work, and would go part time. Wondering if the eventual payoff would worth the effort. Will I level up quicker? Employer has partial tuition reimb.
