Currently leaving my company to get my MBA. At the company I work for now I get a lot of exposure to the board. (VCs backed start up). What is the best way to utilize this relationship to potentially break into high finance after my MBA?

Yeah agreed, company I work for pays >85% which is pretty incredible.

If you do work on corporate strategy or M&A or strategic finance you can try to get into strategy consulting.

Otherwise in general the MBA should accelerate your career in other strategic finance roles

This!

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response” -Viktor Frankl

What do you do when you make the wrong career choice?

Forgive yourself. No one is perfect. You are learning. Wrong choices are part of the learning process.

Ask for forgiveness if your choice negatively impacted another.

Work on recognizing the space between stimulus and response. Ask for help if you need it.

All of the above will help you make a better choice next time.
