Accepted into H/S/W deferred MBA program and currently work in T2 strategy doing PE CDDs (S&, EY-P, S&O). Went to non-target UG with high GPA and good ECs.

Interested in making the move to PE ops and wondering whether I should try and shoot for PE ops roles after 2 years WE or matriculate for MBA at the 2/3/4 year mark and then shoot for ops roles. Would appreciate any insight!

I’ll suggest to do two years T2 strategy and 2 years PE ops before going for the MBA
