Question about pre-MBA work experience - has anyone seen consultants move to tech (strategy, BizOps) roles and then to M7 MBA? I was hoping to apply this year but I’m considering a move to a BizOps role at a late stage tech firm - wanted to see whether the M7 MBA door remains open.

If you haven't done any of the leg work for an MBA yet. I don't know if this year is really possible. Round 1 is already starting to close. And round 2 isn't that much time to write the essays, take the gmat, do research, etc. Ans round 3 is literally just a way to fill the 1 or 2 holes a given class has

funny

It's should be OP just so long as you have a good story as to why the MBA

I am a Reliability Maintenance 3P contractor for Amazon. I graduated with my Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering on June 2022. I’ve been working with Amazon for a year, but there’s a lack of prospective EE positions within the company. The job postings I see are either less or barely above my current salary. I’m not sure if staying longer is beneficial for my future career as an Electrical engineer. I plan on getting my FE license within the next 6 months. Any suggestions will be appreciated

I need some advice. I got a new job back in may of this year. Very excited for a new opportunity to learn some new things and get a higher paycheck.

I also work fully remote. I am feeling very unfulfilled and not sure what I should do next. I am very self motivated and want to make great work but not sure what to do.
