Which big 4 would be better for M&A? I'm interested in eventually attempting a lateral transfer into investment banking. I know it's a long reach but want to have an option that doesn't involve getting an MBA.

Thanks!

How did people decide if they wanted to go for MBB, FAANG, or IB during MBA recruiting? I'd want to spread my chances across all, but heard you should focus on one.

Incoming MBA, I have my tuition paid for and rent covered (I will be an RA). So the only thing I need to pay for is food and entertainment. Do you think 20k is enough to last me through the 2 years? I will make a little money interning in the summer, so that would be a safety valve if I blow through the 20k.

Or… should I take a small loan?

I got an offer from Big 4 firm for 85K at senior level. Is that what I should be expecting. Also my current firm keep telling me that the work will be too much and I won’t be able to handle it. I just want to learn and grow and develop. Is the work unreasonable. I don’t mind working 70 hour weeks to get shit done during busy season at all!

Advice for someone in IT Audit looking into pivoting into a career in cyber? I have about 1 1/2 years in IT audit and have worked on a couple of cyber assessments/cyber program transformations.

I'm a manager in an internal services role that typically doesn't have a lot of upward growth opportunity beyond this level. The SM role is often reserved for people leaders rather than for one w subject matter expertise. I'm interested in transitioning into consulting, particularly procurement/ supply chain.
