Just out of curiosity, with a prior MBB stint, successful startup role and top MBA under your belt, why would you want to go back to MBB?

I actually really like the work- only left because got an offer that was very tough to turn down. For me the combo of interesting work/comp offsets the lifestyle (and realizing I don’t think I want to be in tech long term). But of course may always change

You have stellar stats. You should cut from your list actually, better to really focus on your top 3 for R1.

I think your list is solid and fitting of your stats

What kind of role did you do at the startup? Also why gre over gmat?

Strategy. GRE because considering applying to dual degrees. Also have a liberal arts background, and the GRE seems gives a lot more differentiation to verbal ability

What’s your EC?

How many years at the start up

What is considered standard ECs…

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license.

I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?
