If it’s Corp strat in an industry that you plan to stay in post mba then it makes sense. Just say that you plan to become a leader in that industry, or have a very strong and logical reason for switching. You could also spin that in Corp strat you potentially worked for an alumni of the mba program you’re applying to which inspired you to pursue a new career. There’s many ways you can spin it

Depends on your goals - i.e. don’t join a company that doesn’t fit with your b-school application.

I have a Masters and 8+ years working in an external relations role in a hospital. I have since moved to the payor side. Would it be valuable to pursue another graduate degree (MPH or Dr PH) in order to advance in the payor world or would more education actually hurt my chances?
By advancement, I mean I would earn the degree and then try to find a job at a competitor. My leaders either don’t have graduate degrees or they don’t seem to value them.
