Would you take an offer from MBB or proceed with your plan to get an MBA? Currently at a big 4 and honestly was not expecting an offer or even an interview but super excited about it. What to do what to do?

Go MBB. Then if it’s not for you bschool. Better be cool opp and better role post bschool.

If you got in once, you can get in again. Technically, that would be true for either option. Consider also that an MBB in hand could help you:
A. Get into a better MBA
B. Get into exactly what post-MBB role you want since you've already worked there and will have an easier time networking.

like

MBB on your resume will allow much better and higher pay recruiting post MBA eg. PE. If you thrive at your new firm you may even get fully sponsored for bschool.

I generally think the reason to get an MBA is more than just to get a new job. So if you’re serious about the MBA for it’s own sake, you wouldn’t ditch it for a job (other than something truly incredible)

like

Depends on the role whether you get sponsored.:.

See if you can switch B school to an executive program and you can do both at the same time.

Take MBB, defer b school 1 year

I wouldn’t let the sunk cost of inability to defer stop you! Worth the $200K sponsorship if you go from MBB

Are you entering as a generalist? If so, depending on your age, it makes sense to go to mbb and reassess in a year or 2 if you should reapply. You’ll be a stronger candidate and could get into better schools or get $$$ from schools that admitted you

MBB. Free yourself from the independence dungeon. Get your moneyyyy, grow your moneyyyy.

Which B school? That would help

Would recommend going to a better bschool unless you want to work in CA or love entertainment

Hello!
I was wondering what kind of contractual or other barriers I might face if I apply for one of the big 4 while working on a project with them in my current company.
I am not too involved in the project but I was in a few meetings and went on a field trip with them as well.
The position that I am applying for is in a different team and city.
Will this considered “poaching” if the consulting firm hires me? Would they need to talk to my current employer?
