Had good trajectory prior to Deloitte but slowed down here. Hitched my horse to the wrong wagon here and that’s primarily causing it. Best way to address that in my story?

I don’t necessarily need an addendum I know, more so how to frame story as positive trajectory.

Frame it as needing to develop new skills. Then noting now you have what you went to Deloitte for and need an MBA to accelerate, redirect, pivot...whatever the direction is that you hope to take post-MBA.
