听说我们的一个经理拿到了hbs

just like you said, they earn more money after graduating from B-school, what if they just stay in big 4 without a mba degree? Do you think they can earn as much as a MBA? They can't without staying there for more than at least ten years!

I agreed that experience in Big 4 is valuable. But for B-school applicants, 4 years or 7 years in big 4 is identical. I also knew a girl in big 4 admitted by a top b-school this year, who is only the second year staff!

我只是替那个经理觉得有些不值，没有贬低四大的意思哦！

can you find a worth job than first/second year accountant?

OK I am by no means arguing.......just for discussion purpose ;)

1.) People staying with big 4 for 9 years is not necessarily less successful than people with 7 years with a MBA. MBA is an investment rather than an earning itself....whether MBA helps depends on the person himself...some one needs it whereas some one does not.

2.) 4 years and 7 years are not idendical to b-school applicants. (4 years may be suitable for some one but not necessarily for every one) Even if 4 years and 7 years are identical to b-school applicantion, the difference in working experience will have effect on the post-b-school position of the applicant. 所以不一定不值得啦，她毕业后可能直接可以做big 4 partner，或者自己开一个财务咨询公司，这个不是4年工作经验的人可以做的

纯粹讨论一把啦，哈哈，没有认为你贬低四大啦，赫赫，我也不是四大的辩护人，只是就事论事，说说career 和 mba 德关系拉... 友情讨论

4年只是做到senior title，7年是manager title，两者的机会还是不太一样的。
