Job hunt with an oxbridge degree versus doing another MSc Business Analytics at Imperial

Hi everyone, hope you guys are having a great start to the year! I discovered a passion for consulting quite late and practically missed all the deadlines for T2/MBB and even strong boutique firms. I will be graduating in July 2021. My question is that will doing an MSc Business Analytics degree at Imperial make me a weaker candidate (reputation-wise) compared to just applying as an Oxbridge graduate for the next application cycles?

Management Consulting Mock Interview

“My mentor was very helpful in walking me through both the behavioral interview and the technical case. She paid close attention to everything I said, and her feedback was specific and actionable. Whenever she identified something I could improve, she explained what I should do to address it. After the case, she carefully reviewed the data points I had missed and explained what the case was asking me to uncover. This helped me understand both the details I had overlooked and how to approach the case as a whole. Her feedback consistently built on my responses, and I felt that she was tailoring her guidance to what I needed. She was kind, attentive, and supportive throughout, and I found the session very valuable.”

Management Consulting Mock Interview

“Andre was very helpful during the session. I was asking about my final round assessment centre @HSBC and he provided me with clear understanding of the role and division and how to demonstrate my interest during the interview. He also provided me with an understanding of how to structure my answers, the format expected during the interview itself (including how much technical preparation to do), and what other steps I can take before attending that. While explaining, he also provided examples of different kinds of questions to give me a better picture, and provided practical takeaways.”
