If my goal is to move back home to San Diego should I consider San Diego MBAs? Or just not do an MBA at all? Or do an M7 that's on the west coast? Really curious to hear people's thoughts

With your goal your top choice would be Stanford GSB followed by Anderson/Haas. If you’re already at LEK there no point in considering any non-T15 program.

I'd stretch that to top 20 TBH. Depending on what fields you're interested in, even UWash is worth a look. Prestige is good, but top 20 will get you where you need to go

I have been working remotely since covid getting nothing but positive reviews. My company is not remote friendly and is now telling me I have to return to the office or I lose my job. I just found out a co-worker had a remote position created for them, without a job posting, without an interview and without the experience required (normally a license or certification would be mandatory). I understand life isn’t fair but is there an ethical problem with this?
