Considering moving to a start up/early IPO instead of moving to big 4 consulting (currently in audit and thinking I might be better exposure to more areas). Any thoughts on how this would impact my apps? Aiming for M7 and have the stats for it outside of work xp

Depends on role in startup. Bschools love entrepreneurship experience if you have a brand initially. If this is your only experience make sure it is a known startup and a manger+ role

Got it. If the consulting role is pre MBA level, it wont be a value add I feel. Given your startup is pre IPO, I think it is fairly big/ known. If the role is of high ownership go for it
