Seeking advice: I’m currently a Y1 manager in Deloitte’s Strategy OP (~7 years consulting experience), and am interested in either FAANG or PE/VC. I do not have an MBA (but currently studying for GMAT for PT/EMBA). What would be best (and why): 1) target the SC-equivalent roles at the target companies (assuming PT/EMBA MBA pay support, peers would be pursuing MBA, lower learning curve, maybe less comp); or 2) go for M-equivalent (assuming MBA isn’t supported, high learning curve, comp compares)?

Have you done any faang work?

An MBA isn't necessarily a golden ticket to any job. The fact that you've already made manager in S&O w/o one I think kind of diminishes the value you might get from an MBA. Overall your experience matters more than your education, so I would say start with 2. If you can get 2, why would you need an MBA? If you don't get traction with 2 for a while, then maybe try 1.
