How is MBA recruiting nowadays?

I’m deciding between Wharton or a Senior S&O role with a Tech Unicorn right now.

I’m drawn to Wharton because I think the brand will do me well in the long run (no name Canadian school UG). But at the same time, if my best case exit from Wharton is the same type of role, not sure I’d want to throw $250K for a 2 year ‘break’, as a lot of my peers describe it.

Fellow Canadian here. Got into Booth, no scholarship - deciding to not go ahead with it because im in my 30s now and the opportunity cost of a “uncertain” market is a lot for me.

Dawg take the tech job. At a Top 10 mba now, consulting recruiting was solid but tech was rough. I think the recruiting environment will only get tougher next year. You have a sure thing now vs uncertain expensive thing. You already have BCG as a strong brand and network to fall back on it looks like

thanks for the perspective!

My colleagues
Just to put some intro
I am 22 years after college experience and worked in consulting for 15 years and currently in industry for 7 years.
My long term goal is to go back to consulting more of a business advisor from a strategy perspective
Here is my question
Would MBA be any good for me especially looking at strategy side?
I don’t want to spend $200K and would probably go online MBA in a mid tier school. Are those any good?
Looking forward to your great input on this topic
