Advice for mentoring session with global MBB head

Hi everyone,

I have landed an opportunity for a semi-private (4:1) session with the global head of an MBB. This mentorship session is to precede remarks that they are delivering at an alumni event for my (and their) alma mater. I am looking for some real advice on topics to potentially discuss, obviously depending on how they lead the session and how the discussion goes.

Some stats about me: - 4 years at non-MBB consulting firm (S&, S&O, ATK). Primary experience in E&R, FSI, Public Sector, Shipping - Bachelors level, Finance undergrad. Prefer not to name to preserve anonymity of the individual - Goals. Pursue MBA at H/S/W and potentially get into MBB
