1 year at Accenture, 6 months at EY. May or may not get promoted this year (probably not) and highly doubt I can stay until October 2020 to get promoted because of lack of interest and travel... (Tbc)

If I switch to a more stable industry position where I'm working at a higher level that I am right now (staff/analyst) and have three solid years of exp, how will that look for top mba programs? I am an underrepresented male with a 3.3 from a top state school and shooting for 670+ on GMAT

Additionally,if you were me, would you stick until promotion or does it not hurt if I switch to industry before applying to MBA (Class of 2021)

When I mean lack of interest I mean, I'm not doing any work of my interest.

As long as you could make it more of a story other than wanting stability you got a good chance. Aim for 700+. Essentially try and highlight how your path of switching jobs was more about allowing you to exercise and develop some skill set and interest and shape how b school will help you get to that step.

3.3 GPA and a 670 GMAT is very below average for top MBA programs. Underrepresented male or not, it's not a convincing resume at this point

So I’m an undergrad starting as an associate in consulting at PwC without a business background, I have really strong clinical knowledge and have been hired for healthcare consulting but I honestly don’t know the basics of accounting/finance/data analytics. I feel way over my head, any tips on how to give myself working knowledge or books I could read would be GREATLY appreciated!

Hiya Guys, so I can tell I am burned out and inching into the grey pit of complacency. The burn out is already here, but the slide into grey-pit is not acceptable. I have a masters in business admin, 8+yrs of hospitality management experience, and a bachelors in science.

I really need advice/strategy for skill development, despite burn out and the weakened motivation. I am in a role that can, (in 2+ yrs), make me eligible to start at entry-level position in an area I want. I don't have 2 yrs.
