Looking to exit mbb (senior analyst within a practice) to potential mba programs....looking at Fuqua and Emory due to distance to significant other’s residency program.
Any advice?

Apply for the best schools. Don’t limit yourself. It’s 2 years and if the relationship is meant to be it’ll hold

Question is why MBA? Fuqua and Emory arent the best schools but depends on what you want out of your MBA

This would actually be my 3rd cycle applying to mba...(was accepted to good schools last two cycles just didn’t attend due to good job offers)....I think this time going for an mba is different mainly because first time I just wanted to get to mbb and now I’m much much more entrepreneurship focused. My gmat also isn’t in range for HSW (it’s 700 but I’m trying to do gre due to some interest in dual degree programs).

Basically my thinking is I need an advanced degree to progress in most large orgs and the pay is higher too obviously - and mba would give me time and the advanced degree to get started on my own thing while working a less intense job. And I also want to not sacrifice my personal life. Waiting another 2-4 yrs to get married is kind of shitty to me (my SO and I are like 95% chance of getting married).

Sorry that was a lot but looking to get some external thoughts on this.

as an MBB guy you should not be limiting yourself to fuqua and Emory...

+1 for Fuqua. Did a specialized master's so don't know the ins and outs of the MBA experience, but overall amazing place to be if you're looking to be around some very down to earth people in a great small city

Thanks for all the thoughts guys.
Was randomly back here and figured I’d share thoughts.

Didn’t go to either of those programs but now looking at Stanford. Relationship didn’t hold so 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hey fishies! Been a GVP consultant for 3.5 years now, hard work, tough “in trouble” clients, and just haven’t had the chance to work with a team long term! Been in the industry a while, current Head of DSPV and looking to jump back into FT work. Non-MD so it’s hard to find companies that will hire me even though I teach in grad school and headed for my PhD. Any thoughts? Openings?

Been getting some interesting ads in Georgia. Got a letter about how Jon Ossoff is going to destroy Georgia’s economy and attacking him and his character. This was generated by David Perdue.

Ossoffs response? Bring up all the ridiculousness Perdue has done and how he’s left Georgia in a worse position. Didn’t say Ossoffs name once, just said get rid of Perdue.
