Ask HN: Has Anyone Switched from SWE to Management Consulting?

I'm curious to hear you experience. Did you need an MBA?

I'm considering this move, mainly for the money and potential career opportunities. The lifetime earning capability of post-MBA graduates at a Big 3 consulting firm (McKinsey, Bain and BCG) far exceeds a software engineer, especially if you make partner. Further, exit opportunities to C-suite of F500 companies (your clients) are quite common.
