Breadth of experience, depth of knowledge, not just sales number, but sales of things that are not extensions or closely related work.

I'll put $600K up as better in a new problem set over $1.5M extension.

Seniority. It is in the name. Presumably also more capacity to handle complex projects, depth of experience in given area, and sales skills

$$$$ sales. At least in my team, M vs Director almost always comes down to sales experience and ability it hit sales goals. I have seen 1 year M to D because the said person hit it out of the park with sales, and become a MD two years later.

Hello, question:
I’m I overthinking? I have been with my company as a RC for more than a year, no raise or position change, been doing the same thing since the first day.

This is a legit question so don’t hate me just trying to understand if it’s worth it or not. What is the draw of applying to M7?

I know going to MBB they have pretty specific comp coming out for M7 grads but outside of those three firms, what is the draw? Trying to justify spending 200k for a degree.
