Looking into doing an MBA to access better opportunities. I’ve done my undergrad in commerce hons from a tier B (AACSB) university in Canada (3.7/4 GPA). I’ve worked a few months with a niche boutique consulting firm for public sector/healthcare clients, and 2+ years of mixed experience in tech consulting, healthcare, and economic services.

How do you think my profile is looking. What would you recommend to do in order to get into a great school for MBA?

I recently lateraled into Big Law. Most of my colleagues are homegrown. My shift did involve a big change in practice area, and there's work that I haven't done before that I now have to do.

But, sometimes I feel stupid here, even for work which I have done previously. It's like I'm unable to understand instructions the first time around. And I have seen my colleagues getting annoyed by that. It's like I've become dumb. In my defence, I could say they're giving half assed instructions.
