Not sure if I should stick to my original goal of applying for an MBA next year or take a job in industry already. I have offers with salary higher than average post MBA salary but don’t know if this will limit my overall growth. Part of me feels like if I don’t go the MBA route I will limit my potential, but the other part of me wants to slow down in an industry role and pursue ventures outside of work. If you have been in this position before, do you have any advice?

What are your longer term goals? Have you looked into sponsorship? And how likely is it that you can get into a top 10 school?

Imo, I'd focus on the long term, which could be better served by having a top 10 mba, depending on your goals. If you doubt you can get a top 10 spot, and your sub top 10 school won't be sponsored, then don't bother.
