Would you consider it weird or a cool thing if your team outing was to the Toronto Zoo? I've never been here myself and want to take my team out, so I'd love to know what people's reviews for the zoo are as well!

I think it’s very team dependent. If it was a small team I was close with, and we had talked about it and there was some consensus it would be fun, I’d be down. However, it’s kinda in the middle of nowhere for many, especially younger staff who rely on transit. May depend where your office is and the demographic of the team.

Kinda weird for adults tbh, as the person above mentioned it’s out of the way for most people too unless you happen to work close by

lol! Personally, no thanks. But if it’s a small team with its own dynamic and everyone wants to, OK! But I wouldn’t pick that for a larger or more standard team get together.

I have a few questions for people in consulting roles (both external/internal).

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!
