Wtf really?

Correct. Do you know how to lead QoE, legal, deal process / dynamics? Manage portfolio companies from a board level as opposed to third party advisor in to answer a specific question? Very technical modeling and accounting? Thesis creation and history of standing in front of an investment committee to defend your opportunity? Consulting due diligence is a very very small slice of the investment role, and it’s usually more confirmatory than anything (no red flags that would take the deal).

If not, then take a few years as an associate and grow into it. You’ll learn a lot and be thankful you did, the mba will set you on a slower but more certain career track, and your lifetime earnings may be significantly higher than staying in consulting

Senior Associate most likely.
From someone with an identical background.

3rd year in Big Law. In the final round of an interview where the total comp is still well over 200k. My firm doesn’t pay market now so it’s not a huge cut.

I graduated with a degree in Business in 2018. I’m planning to pursue a Masters in Engineering (likely will pair with MBA) and have been taking the required pre-reqs over the last year from community college.

Is there a big difference between MEng and MS degrees? Or about the same?

I started off looking in going into Mechanical Eng but now looking more into Civil & Environmental.

Is anyone here willing to provide insight about job prospects between the two fields?

Or any other advice?
