Ex GTer, Current IB here. I got into Booth and Kellogg’s MBA programs. If my goal is to pivot to PE in 2-3yrs, which school should I choose and why?

Both are good choices combined with your IB experience. Be sure to network with your IB contacts BEFORE you leave IB so that you can leverage them while you are in the MBA program.

Oh, my personal preference would be Booth.

Current Booth student. DM if you would like to chat about the program.

After every busy season, I think about leaving public accounting and/or the firm. I have 5+ years in tax. Anyone switch to audit/consulting from tax? Two busy seasons a year, with barely anytime to chill in between is exhausting. Anyone in private looking to hire someone with a background in federal tax?

Just received 2 offers that I’m weighing, both in Advertising tech:
1. Smaller firm about to be acquired by a larger one, Product Marketing role (title would be Sr. PMM)
2. FAANG, Sales Account Manager role (similar to my current role)
I have 5-6 YOE and have been in an Account Management role for most of my career - is it worth making the switch to PMM at a smaller firm or sticking with what I know at a FAANG? Both would have relatively similar comp. Thanks in advance for your input!
