definitely!!!

But will going from consulting to sales hurt my chances of getting a top MBA?

Dude it's a job Google stop overthinking it. Only thing that's gonna hurt your chances of a top MBA is if u don't get a top MBA worthy GMAT score.

I would definitely not take it. Account strategist is not the same as biz ops/strategy and ops. It’s more of a sales /customer support type of a role. Big4 experience would be a lot more valuable and you may be able to get your firm to sponsor your MBA
