For MBA apps, which one looks better: 1 - 4 year tech consulting with earlier promotion. 2 - 2 year tech consulting with promotion, 2 years start up?

It depends. What’s your story? What is your long term dream? What’s your target industry after MBA? For example, if you want MBB then 1 would make more sense for most admissions teams, if big tech/growth stage startup then 2. There’s no silver bullet

Hey everyone! I’m struggling to decide whether I should pursue a full time MBA or a Part Time MBA. Truly, what scares me about a full time one is the fact that I won’t work for two years. I know it’s a big investment and I’ll be rewarded for ir later on, but the thought of it still scares me. I would love to get someone’s thoughts on this! Is the experience very different? Will I be exhausted if I do the part time? Is there something I’m not considering when it comes to the Full Time?

Having tough time deciding between IB & Consulting. My thought process: I have a "better" background for IB (TAS/valuation) and with tech layoffs, this might push more potential would-be tech applications to pursue consulting (there by increased competition)? Additionally, you can do IB intern and full time consulting but not vice versa. I prefer consulting, but IB seems like the "safer" option? And if consulting does get hit hard, I would hopefully have a full time IB offer via internship.
