reposting here because weighing two options - 5 YOE (3 in a boutique, 2 in internal strat) currently at 125K
Option 1 / M7 spot for fall 2027 (not HSW)
- 50K total scholarship. Not sure what I want to do and want to take the 2 years to explore
Option 2 / corp strategy opp at a retail brand that’s going through a turnaround. 150K, reporting to VP and President. Risky but could be interesting

Any advice would be great. Thanks!

I think in your case, M7 makes sense to take. 50K is a good scholarship and should help offset the cost a good bit. Option 2 sounds really risky, and while interesting, probably will be challenging at this point in your career. 150K isn’t a TC that makes an MBA not worth it

Can you do option 2 and a weekend mba program like kellogg or booth?

If your long term interests are in Consumer and Retail corporate work, this is a great 3rd option. I took this route. I was previously in consulting and exited to the industry and am currently a Manager of M&A and Corporate Strategy. I’m enrolled in the Part Time MBA program at Booth. You can still use on campus resources to switch back into consulting or something else if you want towards the end of your MBA

Im strongly considering an MBA. Only thing that deters me is cost. I’ve heard of some tier 1 firms that will offer tuition reimbursement for returning interns post-MBA, how common is that? Also considering pivoting to a firm that offers scholarships. Any tips/insight on this? Thank you!
