Does a FP&A analyst (later on manager) role look as good as a spending four/five years at a big 4 in audit to MBA programs

I have actually seen more people coming from more advisory roles (FP&A, risk, IA) than traditional audit. I'll be starting my program in Fall (at a top program) so take it with a grain of salt.

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

Interviewed for Deloitte S&A Tech Strategy SC and got a verbal offer for Consultant instead. I negotiated the offer to 120K salary and 10K signing bonus.

How do I go back to the recruiter to negotiate further? I suggested that I’d probably sign but need time to think. Now I’d like to go back and request 140k salary.
