Consultant at a T3 firm (~4,500 employees), mostly focused on transaction services work. I may have an opportunity to switch to a corporate dev M&A analyst role at a PE backed private wealth management firm. As far as increasing my MBA odds, would I be better off staying put or trying to transition out? Obviously there’s more nuance to the decision but wanted to get high level thoughts from the bowl

I think you can sell the impact of that role better. You’ll also have access to C-suite. But does it make sense for your long term goals and story?

I’m looking to transition from my current sales role (purely operational) to a more creative/strategic role that involves public speaking/facilitation. Have some experience in sales development (mainly business development & strategic advice to C-level), branding/marketing, facilitation (as a side-job) and working with content creators.

I’m new to this space so not sure about what kind of roles there are?

Having tough time deciding between IB & Consulting. My thought process: I have a "better" background for IB (TAS/valuation) and with tech layoffs, this might push more potential would-be tech applications to pursue consulting (there by increased competition)? Additionally, you can do IB intern and full time consulting but not vice versa. I prefer consulting, but IB seems like the "safer" option? And if consulting does get hit hard, I would hopefully have a full time IB offer via internship.
