There is a doctoral scholars program that exists to help find people with actual experience to fill the need for academia, but there’s looks for three years (https://www.adsphd.org/apply). I guess that is what they considered the sweet spot, but doesn’t mean there is a right answer. You’ll need a recent GMAT/GRE score (within 5 years) and letters of recommendation - academic recommendations preferred, but professional also accepted. I’m considering this as well and have done a bit of research but am a bit more removed from school and therefore longer time since any interaction with past professors

Got two offers on the table, who love to hear your advice!

- Corp Dev analyst role for a listed niche gambling company

The tech job pays 15k more, but from what I can see will be a cluster and super long hours (has EU stakeholders). Maybe a pipe dream, but I want to have a "somewhat" decent wlb while still growing my career toward strategy and finance.
