How do MBA committees view leaving consulting for another job and applying to business school after 4 YOE? Will that hurt my chances vs. Just applying direct from consulting and going with 3 YOE?

3 YOE is probably not enough for a worthwhile MBA program, especially right now. Plus more experience can’t hurt! I’d wait it out

Depends on what the other job is. Waiting tables might hurt, PE gig might help 🤷🏼‍♂️

MBA firms love Big Tech but most choose to stay in Big Tech than go back.

Hi guys
Had a query regarding Salesforce strategy roles.

Is it worth trying for strategy roles after 2 years in Tech Strategy projects at EY ? Or is there something more specific that I should be doing ?

Observed on LinkedIn that generally an MBA from Tier 1 University is the norm.

I am interested to apply to Salesforce in the future, if not now.
