I’m starting to see mixed outcomes across schools and it’s messing with my head. Invites from some, silence from others I thought were similar. It makes me question how my profile is actually viewed. Did anyone else feel confused by inconsistent results?

Don’t over think it. Every school gets buried with qualified applicants so they have to pick between them the best they can and it can become arbitrary. It is a lot more of an art than a science

COO’s & previous SR. account executives…

I made it to regional manager for a franchise by age 22. Ran a successful financial practice & sold by the age of 33. Took 2 years off and built a health & wellness coaching platform for my wife (medical provider). Then, the last 2.5 yrs, have been a top producer in Saas sales as a senior account executive. I’ve been told I would make a great COO someday and I’m ready to take the next step into leadership. Who/what should I be targeting next?

Does an MBA (US) make sense for me? Male, Indian, Age 32, Married working in tech consulting with 10 YOE. Base is $165 with steady increases and bonus is typically 15%.

Becoming a manger in my current company/path will probably get me there in terms of TC. Also considering EMBA from a good school (Wharton Global, Duke, Kellogg, Booth).
