What specs would you get?

X1s are great. But your school probably will offer a few options and then IT supports

You really just want something with 16 gbs of ram and an SSD in general.

Deloitte 1. Look into Gigabyte Aero or Razer Blade. I have my Gaming PC at home and my Gigabyte Aero for travel. Not that heavy and good batery life compared to other gaming laptops and all the performance I need for a simple (non 4K or VR) gaming experience.

Anyone saying X1 Carbon was a consultant and they’re recommending it because it was the only laptop they used at work

Nah I had a really bad HP laptop for my day job, got a X1 carbon for financial modeling and it's come in quite handy. 32 gb ram, and 500 gb HD

Burned out in current role. 10-plus years post-MBA experience in Corp Fin role unable to move up to Director due to lack of "scope" - limited to no opps. Currently, work 40-50 hours week (minimal to no weekends) and earn ~250 TC. Work day is "intense" - many quick turnaround projects from task to task.

Is it worth shopping around? Can I get promo to Director level at another Tech company, earn more and still maintain same level of hours (limited weekend work)? Less intense days possible?

Does an MBA (US) make sense for me? Male, Indian, Age 32, Married working in tech consulting with 10 YOE. Base is $165 with steady increases and bonus is typically 15%. I eventually do want to cross the $300K threshold but I know stopping work for 2 years and getting and MBA probably won’t get me a $300K job right away. Becoming a manger in my current company/path will probably get me there in terms of TC. Also considering EMBA from a good school (Wharton Global, Duke, Kellogg, Booth).

My colleagues
Just to put some intro
I am 22 years after college experience and worked in consulting for 15 years and currently in industry for 7 years.
My long term goal is to go back to consulting more of a business advisor from a strategy perspective
Here is my question
Would MBA be any good for me especially looking at strategy side?
I don’t want to spend $200K and would probably go online MBA in a mid tier school. Are those any good?
Looking forward to your great input on this topic
