⬆️ That hasn’t been my experience. I honestly haven’t noticed a significant difference between the work of consultants with an MBA vs that of consultants without an MBA. I haven’t worked with many/any clients that really cared so much, and I think differences in the quality of work wasn’t necessarily attributable to an MBA.
We bring credibility to a project that someone who has both experience and education in business is reviewing what is being done so that a bunch of people who only have experience at the consulting firm and a BA are not the only people driving the project.
Then we leverage our experience and education to learn quicker than you and add what you do and more by our 3rd project.
@bain it's different at your firm. You get the cream of the crop starting at UG. Big 4 pulls from good schools but not as concentrated as MBB
OP
I just want you to know, that I receive almost no glory in my PP creation, so jokes on you....
🤫
@m1 Bitter much? You must be under appreciated. 😂 And you are wrong, thats not what I was implying its what you assumed- just wanted to know what was in store for me at the end of the tunnel.
Fair point!
Also @Bain, the comment wasn’t so much MBA C vs non-MBA C it was what do MBA C’s bring. The OP was implying that MBA Cs are dead weight. Given your experience, OPs hypothesis is still disproven given that you see no difference in capabilities.
Sc, you referenced MBA Cs as “glorified ppt creators,” please explain how I should otherwise interpret what you said.
@m1 You must really think highly of yourself to feel hurt that I called you a glorified ppt creator. Maybe its because other people are considering doing an MBA and don’t want to create PPT decks their entire lives. How about them apples?
Sc op, you are either dumb or trying to dig yourself out of a hole. Unfortunately you are not Will Hunting. You are a consultant now, you make PPT decks now, and yet you think the job is mystically different post MBA? Have you just never paid attention? The end of your original question said education vs experience...what are you trying to weigh? That someone with education doesn’t make a PPT but someone with experience does?
Unless you are at some small firm, you don’t need an MBA to progress from entry level to partner - if your question was around incremental value of an MBA given you are already in consulting, you’d have a fair point. Unfortunately for you, that was not your question. Everything in your original post smells of condescension for MBAs.
Whatever ad hominem you want to use to distract what you’ve been called out for doing is fine with me. My MBA tripled my salary pre vs post and my second year was sponsored, so I’m pretty at peace with my decision to get the degree and to go in to consulting.
