In Reply To: Brian, KAS, Mck Insider, etc. Do you have an answer for the gentleman with the Stanford PhD concerning the Exec MBA vs the 2yr MBA? To all those reading this board in the future, please note that if the real questions are not answered then these threads are just a bunch of bullshit and the people posting them are not real consultants but just a bunch of folks screwing around. Do not waste your time on this site. This site should have some type of screening process along with maintaining confidentiality if that is possible.
Message: I can attempt to reply your question #1 somewhat. I got my M.S. in Elec Engg and then went on to work in the industry and after some years, returned to do a Ph.D. I interviewed with McK when I was 36 and the issue of age was brought up..the interviewer asked me how I would feel to be working for an engagement manager maybe 5 years younger than me. Of course, I said it would be no problem. I didn't do very well in my final round interview so didn't get an offer..but I wonder if age was a factor! Hope this helps.
