I’m former PwC CMAAS. I left to industry and do not like it, and am strongly considering returning to public.

I think a return to public means I want to stay until partner.

As much as I liked CMAAS, I think Deloitte ARA has more room for growth given that the practice is newer (or at least it seems newer from my perspective.). CMAAS is a well oiled machine and it seems like they make few partners compared to other firms.

Curious to here experiences of Deloitte ARA folks.

I entered law school in my late 30's as a second career. I have strong pre-law experience (Executive of small company, 60 employees, $4m budget, MBA, etc.) and law school credentials (Top 10%, Managing Editor of Law Review). I'm willing to make less coming out of school than I did before, but want to ultimately land as in-house counsel with a decent wlb and make $200k+. I'm looking for advice on the best path to get there and how long I can expect it to take.

Does where you get your masters degree matter? I’m in an online environmental science masters program at an expensive “name-brand” school, but have colleagues telling me I should transfer to a less expensive program to save $ because no one cares about where your degree is from.
