Cracking MBB from Tier 2 MBA

I am very fascinated by Management Consulting and been speaking with ex consultants. All of them are critical of it, but agree the money is good 🤤 Need advice - Do these companies take lateral hires? I have seen only IIM candidates freshly graduated being taken in I'm not IIM, but MBA with 6 years of work ex - MBB have shittiest WLB and highest money. Which comes down as per tier. Which is the best tier to get into, so I have best of both worlds (less shitty WLB with lesser money)

Hi Guys, I am working as a software developer in Oracle( btech from old IIT) . Its been 2 years and I now want to switch to management consulting (preferable in MBB) to experience it so want to give MBA. 1. I did some research but I want to gain some information on the salary aspect of it. I heard that the salaries are not that high they would probably be in the same range that I am getting now. BUT, I want to know in the long run do consultants get more hikes compared to tech roles? 2. I heard the wlb is pretty bad so is there some resource that I can study to know if thats the right suit for me since its a big risk I’ll be taking moving on to a different field. There are some good exit opportunities also I believe after MBB can someone tell more about it. Would really appreciate some answers on this. Its on my head for a long time. Cheers!

Hi everyone, I am currently working as an IB analyst (front end) in a boutique shop. Our core focus is equity and debt funding in the startup space (seed to series b usually). Its been an year since I have joined and I am looking to switch. Joining a mid market or a bigger boutique shop makes more sense by the book and I have some connections for the same but I have been really interested in management consultancy and want to give it a shot before MBA. The thing is, I graduated from a tier 2 private college and most of the consultancy firms I know of give a huge importance to pedigree and prefer hiring from tier-1 institutes. Does it make sense for me to try getting in through referrals or is it smarter to aim for this post MBA. And to begin with, do I even stand a chance to get into some good consultancy firm?

Does Accenture strategy only hire MBAs? If yes, can executive MBA help in securing a job? (even in other companies like BCG, Bain etc) I have bachelors and thinking about doing MBA to accelerate my career path. 6 yoe, tech consultant.

Hey people, I am a software engineer. I am thinking of pivoting to leadership kind of roles like EIR, founders office, product manager, etc. For people who are currently in such roles or know people in these roles, do you think people from tech(engineering) background, pivoting to this role at age of 24-25 yrs is advisable? Would people hiring for these roles see that I don't hold an MBA? What are the things about these roles I should be aware of?

I'm a 28-year-old guy currently employed as a data scientist at a Fortune 500 company, earning a respectable annual salary of 24 lakhs. Lately, I've been contemplating pursuing an MBA, but I haven't initiated my GMAT preparation yet. I'm wondering if it's a wise move to transition my career in this direction. I've heard that individuals with a tech background who graduate from IIM/ISB might need to begin their careers anew, typically with a salary in the range of 27 to 28 lakhs. Can you confirm if this is accurate?

what's founders office or chief of staff role? what to these guys do. I generally see that they are from mbb club.
