I posted this message here because this board rocks!
I got an offer from Mercer Oliver Wyman, or I have the option of going to a top BS and hope to make it to M/B/B 2 years later, may I get some opinions on those two choices from you guys?
I am particularly interested in the future career options after Mercer Oliver Wyman? Will their strong focus on Financial Services close or open more doors? Or you guys think trying for M/B/B is a far better choice?
Thanks! |

Cannot compare: MOW is a very good firm but will restrict you to the FS industry. Also note that is is less strategic: you will do more risk management and benchmarking. From there you can go into ops or internal strategy.
M/B/B is slightly better for M&A and equity research
And in general, for front office positions in IB/T&S, better to go directly after your MBA
