Hello Everyone,
I’m currently 27 and considering pursuing a specialized master's (not MBA) in Europe to improve my chances of getting into MBB. I already hold a B.E. in Industrial Engineering and an MSBA (Master of Science in Business Analytics) with top grades, and I have 2 years of experience, all outside consulting. Despite this, I’ve been struggling to get recognized by MBB in the Middle East, where the general trend is to enter consulting at around 22. Typically, candidates here secure an internship a year before graduating their engineering degree at 21 and then commit to an MBB offer the following year.
I’m wondering:
- Should I pursue a specialized master’s at this stage?
- If so, which types of programs/universities would best position me for MBB recruitment at this age?
- If not, do I still have a chance of breaking into MBB without another degree?
Any insights or experiences would be much appreciated!
