I know that BYU is not M7 but is it still considered a top tier ish MBA? I am a CPA with a Macc but wondering if I would need an MBA to actually excel faster to a Director level position within Finance or Strategy. 2.5 YOE at EY.

Tell us your definition of “director level position within finance or strategy”. It doesn’t have a great national brand, but if you plan to stay in Utah for your entire career it may not be a bad idea

The role is definitely a step up in terms of responsibilities from my current role as a senior consultant. Do you think it might hamper my business school application changing jobs so close to round 1? Have been at D for 4 yrs
