Ah I feel like I have gone way too dependent on MBA consultants that now I am not comfortable/confident writing anything on my own... can someone set me straight?

How helpful are they really...

I think they can be and are helpful for specific needs for specific people. For me, I don’t have a network of close friends/colleagues to rely on to gauge my essays so I did work with one for a couple hours strictly on my essays. I think the general packages, however, are typically extremely overpriced.

Weighing up a top buy-side offer, but worried about perception on my overall tenure within roles.

May only be in this new ASC role for ~1y (personal circumstances). This would make 3 roles in ~3.5 years ( T2 consulting -> MBB -> buyside) out of undergrad. Long-term want to be entrepreneurial / do early-stage investing (Partner-track at a fund), have clear rationale for previous and future moves.

Is this an issue or am I overthinking? Thoughts?
