All other things held equal, is my application stronger with 3 years at EY strategy (applying at senior 1 level) or 2 years EY (currently) + 1 year MBB (hypothetically at 2nd year analyst equivalent)

If I was you I’d jump to MBB for 2 years then do their sponsorship program. I believe you can apply for it after 2 there

This is the ideal

Given the stronger brand of MBB but lower title and likely less personal recommendations. Also would applying 2 years from now change anything? Aka 2nd year senior at EY vs 1st year associate equivalent at MBB.

Definitely don’t intend to stay in consulting long term, might continue consulting right after MBA if firm sponsors it. My main priority is just to choose whichever will get me into a better program.
