Re consulting, if you are an experienced hire, possible based on background/experience. Re corporate, I personally don’t think it makes a difference once you get in the door. I had MANY people in my team (large org) that were from killer schools, MBA, Master in Comp Sci etc and it didn’t matter to me. What are you doing, how are you doing it and what value are you bringing every day? You could be top of your class at (pick one) and I could give 2 craps re your “pedigree” if you are not pulling your weight. All are equal once you get hired. No one even considers your schooling
Lol if only that were true “all are equal / no one considers your schooling” // love the rest of what you wrote tho @EY
Magic 8 ball says it is possible but unlikely
IBM1, for many companies and people out there what EY1 said is true. Couldn't give two shits about where you went to school if you're performing well
I went to a small state school and made partner relatively early (Advisory). Never once has the subject of having an MBA come up in promotions, hiring, boards, etc. So from a Consulting point of view it will not limit you. That said, I think it could possibly limit my exit opportunities at my level in industry and there is definitely a tangible value to the network afforded by a top tier MBA program. If I could do it over I would have gone for the MBA but in this lifetime I could never justify the opportunity cost.
No :(
Again, it matters when you are applying, not when you are in. So valuable if you plan to move around company to company, but once you get solid experience behind you, the school will weigh less and the achievements and capabilities will weigh more. That said - equal candidates may get a leg up with a better school because there may be a mental bias - ooooh, he went to MIT- he MUST be smarter than the other guy
