I am in the final rounds of interviews for a manager position with a fortune 50 company in their internal strategy group. The pay bump would be significant and it would be a good role. (Cont.)

Don’t worry about prestige and this other nonsense. If it pays well and it’s a good fit just go for it. Maybe you’ll like it so much you won’t need to go to business school. The goal should be to find ways of avoiding having to do an mba.

However, it’s not in the sexiest industry or an area that I’m interested in. My goal is to go to a top mba program. Do top schools respect those type of roles as much as consulting. Will it hurt my admission chances

They respect any role from any company as long as you have a strong gmat and story bro.

What industry?
