Moving Tier 2->MBB, seems no brainer to me, but would that hurt my MBA admission chances at top schools? ie from being good in tier 2/big four consulting pool to being nobody in MBB applicant pool.

Bringing this topic to the broader bowl: why is product manager at a big tech deemed a more respectable role than an internal Consulitng/biz ops role? I have interacted with some product managers at big tech. It seems to me the focus of PM work, especially at a big tech, is quite narrow: you start off improving a button, a UI, a small feature release, and nature of the work is very operational. Can someone explain to me the reason behind MBA grads flocking to PM path vs. say google biz ops?

I’ve been in my role since June of 2020 right after graduating college. I truly cannot say enough good things about my manufacturer but lately, as in the last 6ish months, I’ve truly been questioning whether there is more for me here.
