I'm seriously thinking about applying this year, but I only have 2 years of work experience. I'm in tech and have already been promoted twice, but I'm still worried that schools will think I'm too junior. Is it a bad idea to apply with less than 3 years?

No. Some of the best and brightest have gotten in to the upper crust out of highschool. Gates Zuck and others. The upper crust. You just be aiming for not the ivy. Just applies yourself. You can drunks all the milk you can and it ain't going to be making differences over a years. A bro can get in whether he gots 2 or 3 years. If they says no then you a basic bro and you just stay back and plays in the sandbox for a years before you tries again. You asking if you should apply be like should you push the button on yours fisher price. Of course you shoulds. It your try bro. Worse case toy talks back and says push button next year. Ya gets? World is yours toy box. Either you push its or it pushes you. Be like Luke and use The Force my bro. Bees good for bees good at it. Happy Holler Days bro.

Not sure what’s more ridiculous- a Director with only two years of work experience, or Deloitte 2’s comment.

I would wait. MBA is generally more useful after you’ve had a couple of jobs and have some more priors on what you like/don’t like / want to do
