In Reply To: I have 18 years of corporate experience working in aerospace & defense, possess a Top Secret clearance, and just recently finished my MBA from a med-sized university in Orange County California (Chapman University AACSB accredited). I am currently in my late 30's and looking at Strategy Consulting and changing my current career path. What are my chances of success in this weak economy and the fact that my Chapman MBA though respected here in the greater Los Angeles basin is not that well known in other areas outside LA. In other words how attractive do I look to a major firm What are your thoughts?
Message: I work at BAH. My best guess is that you would have a hard time getting a position in WCB without an MBA from a top 10 school. However, if your background includes a lot of exposure to senior level issues, then your odds improve. It can't hurt to try.
