I mean... How did you look at post-undergrad careers and not have the realization that finance pays most? The money in consulting is solid, but it's not absurd. If you want the big bucks, yes, it'll be in finance.

You're an associate, and thinking post MBA? Lol... You probably won't cut it in IB, if you're in it solely for the money, as you will hate your life. As BCG said, build a company up, and cash out.

P1 what's wrong with looking at salaries post MBA? Maybe some smart folks here will give me good pointers and I will connect with pplz in those industries /places, see what it takes to land an offer there and then decide where to go for an MBA. Thinking about what I want to do post MBA will help me chose the school, channel my energy into the right type of networking, etc..,, you gotta start thinking beyond FB bruh

You absolutely do not need a MBA for trading.

I’m graduating from my MSA program and I have two offers:

1) FDD @ KPMG

2) CMAAS @ PwC (trying to move offer to valuations)

I want to use these TAS roles to move into more M&A advisory roles like IB/Corp Dev. PwC comp is a decent amount higher due to the $10k salary increase so it makes the decision a bit harder. Would CMAAS make it impossible to make the jump to IB-type roles due to how much technical accounting is involved?
