Did 2 years at Deloitte S&O out of undergrad and now moving to MBB. How long do I need to wait until applying to MBA programs to get the bump associated with MBB? Or is this a stat dependent question?

If stats matter, US ORM male, 770 GMAT, top 15 undergrad, majored in business, 3.45

Data point: I did 2 years tier 2 investment bank, 1.5 years MBB before applying and got into GSB

Stats?

You’re going to get the perception bump no matter what. But you’re still competing against tons of other MBB consultants.

Good morning!

Still trying to figure out this whole Fishbowl thing, so here goes my first post.

I would love to get into provider credentialing, but all employers I've looked at want at least 3 years of experience. So, I'm looking at Provider Network Coordinator roles, because I'm finding some of those roles don't need AS MUCH experience. I'm a RHIT, and have been working in healthcare for nearly 10 years.

Any input on employers is appreciated!
