Damn that’s a tough one . Usually I would say go for $$& but it is GSB .

If you can afford it then go to GSB . If you think you’ll struggle and can’t maximize your mba than go to Sloan . Both will get you to mbb or FAANG, but I think the network and long term opportunities at GSB will be unrivalled.

Many of your mba colleagues will be financially well off and/ or sponsored so money does become a big factor when networking and having fun . Being poor in a great university can destroy the experience

Never ever not go to GSB/HBS. 150k is irrelevant over a 30-year career, and there’s a crevasse between GSB and Sloan in opportunities, market value and recognition

Depends on your long term goal, if you want to pivot to finance in long term, then it’s GSB

I would say GSB too. Also, you go OP! What’s your story?

Bain & Company Is it truly easier to get in a smaller MBB office?

Have heard a lot for different opinions on these. The logic is that it’s easier because there is a lot of supply in cities like NY, Chicago and SF, but the counter argument is that the offices with less supply are also way smaller and have a lot less demand.
