So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)

If goal now is to get into MBB (personally prefer McK) - which of the following will be the best option that’ll help me get there -

3. Amazon/Amazon Ops role (salary similar if not higher than option 2)

Would greatly appreciate any insight from the community.

Feeling really burned out. How do people do it?

Currently an Associate Manager (which is the level below Manager in ACN Tech) and applied for a Manager role at big4. I have 7.5 YOE. I’ve completed all interview stages already. The salary I’m demanding is too high so they are considering offering SM after I come back for another interview. Bad move or good opportunity?

Anyone see a future buyout/merger involving big 4 and/or MBB?

I can’t take this anymore. Make it stop. Make it STOP.
