Why is Sherryl Sandberg mentioned as a McK alum so often? She only worked there for one year. It’s unlikely McK had a significant impact on her success.

John Legend came to a BCG event once randomly when he was touring and I got to meet him. Great guy.

Yes. Lots of selection bias.

Why? Because PR, that’s why.

What’s up my consulting fishes!! Manager at Accenture, and really enjoy the HC, Org Analytics, CM, Org Design side of things.

I’d like to continue building my skillset here and venture into product development to facilitate strat consulting for the areas above (sorry for the buzzwords).

In this case, is an MBA required to succeed or progress to the MD, partner, C Suite level? Or should I grind my way through the industry given my interests are so pointed?

Would love a convo and/or guidance.
