McKinsey & Company I am joining the McKinsey & Company Boston office in late July and searching for housing in the meantime. If I could get some insight on the ratio of days in the office vs work from home that would be super helpful!
If I need to come into the office regularly I will try to find a place close by.

A lot of people do an M7 MBA for the sole purpose of trying to get into MBB. So I'm gonna say MBB is more valuable on a resume
MBB experience is almost certainly more valuable. Nobody really cares where you got your MBA after your first job out of school - it’s about how you perform in your job. Sure the network is helpful for HSW, but the same could be said of MBB
You guys don't get it. What SC1 is trying to say is MBB is worthless compared to if you have 10 YOE at KPMG and 8 YOE as POTUS. So KPMG is better on your CV than MBB
MBB pre- bschool> HSW b-school > non HSW M7

HSW mba is still great but it depends on your career goals. Premba MBB opens a lot of doors that close after mba
I think MBB more valuable
Depends, I’d take a non-MBB HBS grad with big 4 consulting vs. a Darden / Emory mba and MBB
And does this “changing the bar” during admissions that you speak of with such seeming aspersion equate to diminished performance as a student or a lower likelihood of success post-graduation? I have encountered a number of people — URM and not — who came into an MBA program with lower than average stats and ended up consistently towards the top of the class / with great employment outcomes.

Gotta say MBB here. It’s a highly coveted job at H/W, let alone non-HSW M7.
And pre MBA experience is much more valuable and meaningful than post MBA MBB (both are great). It’s easier at the MBA level, relatively speaking.

Solid and highly coveted are not the same.
