What are the thoughts on pursuing an evening / weekend self-funded MBA from the UofMiami (or similar program) as opposed to going through the GSAP program at Deloitte? Opinions on UofMiami MBA?

Overall I’d say more education is better than less. If you want to do it, go for it!

In terms of if it’s worth it, generally, I’d say only do MBA if it’s part of a grander scheme. No need for MBA in consulting and self funding is expensive (unless you have substantial scholarships/grants).

I think very generally you’d have good prospects regionally w UF or Miami (think Miami, Atlanta, Tamp, etc.) Outside of T7 I think it may be tougher to break into IB or HF.

Sorry I’m not sure about that— suggest asking folks who work for the specific firms you’re thinking of.

Very generally, though, I don’t know that you’d need an MBA just to jump to another consulting firm— unless you were trying to go from (for example) tech consulting to S&O or M&A. If you’re just going laterally (same role different firm) it may not be worth it.

IMO an MBA is best for changing careers- consulting to finance or startup— not so much for jumping to another firm.

If you are interested in staying at Deloitte for the next few years, check out the ENTAP program. You get up to $100k for your MBA (if approved). DM me if you want more detail

Sure thing. Anyone who is interested just DM me

At least while you’re at Deloitte, you won’t see a raise in salary or a step up in title like you would if you went through GSAP. So if you’re doing this for your own knowledge or a check the box for a future exit opp, have at it. Just don’t be surprised when talent laughs at you when you ask for a raise for having your MBA like a GSAPer. Seen this happen to several folks now and it leaves a bad taste
