I recommend Leland since you’ll get to work with the coach you selected and build a relationship with them. With big shops you may sign with an ED but have more analysts do the leg work

I’d shop around and see what feels like the best fit for you. I found them to lack the personal touch and felt like they viewed me as a number just from my brief consultation with them.

And to add - others may have had a totally different experience! It was just not a good fit for me based on the consultation but I’ve heard really good things about that

I did a consultation but ended up using Applicant Lab instead and happy with the results + admissions. If you're a self starter and can hold yourself accountable it's great. But if you need that personal touch + someone to hold you accountable then I'd go traditional consultant

ApplicantLab + Hourly consultant to review essays

Interviewing question: for anecdotal “tell me abt a time when..”, & similar questions - are you allowed to recycle stories from your undergrad years or do they only look for post grad/work stuff? Afraid some of the stories that sounded okay at undergrad recruiting might now come across as a bit “lightweight” in this context...like would they eye roll if we start talking about that one time we did a science competition sophomore year of college (even though it taught an important lesson)..etc.🤔

Heading to an M7 soon from a tech company where I work in a product-adjacent position. I didn’t need this degree to “break into” product management (former company would have let me transition), but I still figured it could be good for the long run.
Now when thinking about 100K in loans, I feel anxious about not getting a PM role after. Was this the right move?

When would be the right time for me to get an MBA given my background?

I was a teacher for 4 years and transitioned into the corporate world. I have 6 months experience in marketing and that’s what I currently do, but plan for a lateral move in the future. I’ve seen suggestions of 3-7 years experience - does my teaching experience factor in? Or should I consider the 3-7 years only of my corporate time? Or is an MBA sooner a good move because of my big career transition (and future lateral)?
