Do agencies in New York pay better than working for an individual company in the long run? Both jobs I’m considering are offering similar salaries so I’m wondering which one has the better long-term career outlook.

So would it be smarter to make the move now as a first year staff since I’ll be considered Experienced Hire anyway?

Would any one be able to speak to this from experience or share advice

How necessary is an extracurricular for MBA apps?

Would it be really bad if I had nothing in that section on my app beyond college extracurriculars? Or should I force some activity? I have enough time before I apply to make it look legit to adcoms.
