Hi Laura!

Actually, it's impossible to combine. For that you have to take off for 1-2 years.

McKinsey / Accenture Alum / Got all BIG3 offers / Harvard Business School

Hi,

There is no way to do that. Usually, you take 2 years off. The bigger problem is to pass your GMAT and get accepted once you are still there

Hey Laura,

That would be well and truly impossible! It's hard enough to do an MBA with a "normal" job.

They do indeed take the 1-2 years off. Furthermore, McKinsey/BCG sponsor (i.e. pay) for the MBA during this time. Not a bad deal at all :)

Hi there,

They cannot combine nad MBA and work at an MBB, it's quite impossible! Instead, they take a Leave of Absence to complete their MBA before returning to work!

All the best,

Mehdi

McKinsey offers w/o final round interviews - 100% risk-free - 10+ years MBB coaching experience - Multiple book author

Hi Laura,

100% impossible to do your MBA while working at MBB - you need to take time off for that (which is partially paid anyway, depending on your arrangements).

Hope that helps - if so, please be so kind to give it a thumbs-up with the green upvote button below!

Hi Laura,

They don’t ;) People doing MBAs after the analyst/associate period take a leave of absence of 1 to 2 years.

Best,

Hi,

you don't work while doing an MBA :) the firm gives you one/two year(s) off (with/without salary, half of it, ... it depends on the office) to properly concentrate on the MBA!
