so i want to leave EY but i don’t want to hurt my chances of getting into a good school by not directly coming from a big name brand at the time of application.

would having the 2.5 years of EY be enough and give me freedom with other job opportunities or should i suck it up until it’s time to apply?

Depends on what the alternative is. If it’s a decent brand and gives you free time to prep it may be worthwhile.

Depends on next opp. If it’s a cashier at Walmart (nothing against them) then no but if it’s working in the CEO office at Fortune500 to help implement company strategy then sure.

Hey everyone! I’m struggling to decide whether I should pursue a full time MBA or a Part Time MBA. Truly, what scares me about a full time one is the fact that I won’t work for two years. I know it’s a big investment and I’ll be rewarded for ir later on, but the thought of it still scares me. I would love to get someone’s thoughts on this! Is the experience very different? Will I be exhausted if I do the part time? Is there something I’m not considering when it comes to the Full Time?
