It ain’t wrong...

Any tips on how to start and prepare my MBA Application? I don’t plan on applying till 2022 as I want to attend in 2023. What are things I can do to prepare now in order to have a strong application?Background: I’m aiming for HSW, M7, and top 15. I’m currently a Staff at EY within Business Consulting. I graduated from a Top 25 Business Undergrad - majoring in Finance and minor in Advertising with a 3.71 GPA. I want to pivot towards PM or Corporate Strategy in Tech, at Toyota, or Nike. TIA!
I love a good rhombus 👀

Coach
Which firm
Thanks for the response. I’d prefer not to say - would be a bit too easy for the right person stumbling across this to work out who I am. From the list of competitors in my other post you could work out the level though. Basically not bad, but certainly not tier 1. Pushing Tier 1 in Digital and Innovation spaces though.
Jeez, that to me sounds like horrible working conditions and offers. I know SC friends at big4 pulling 100k USD easy, now sure if the UK is supposed to be significantly lower or it's just your firm - in either case you need to bounce
Are there other places you can exit to? How about Germany or Australia?
How does the startup tech scene look like in London?
My 2cents - do whatever you can to get stateside with your experience you could work in strategy and pull an easy $120k and upto 200k depending on industry and location, we even pay lower tax
Go to an US grad school for immigration and then pivot to a US company
You can get Big 4 consulting jobs in Germany and Netherlands with just English. They work in English a lot of the time.
Is £45k a standard SC salary?
Switzerland 80-100k CHF
Mentor
OP, Londoner here and ex-Strategy&. And I also happen to run a career coaching biz. You need to find another job which helps you with both pay and promotion. If you drop me a DM, happy to chat more.
Bit more detail - Academics are good, but not BCG / McK good. Failed 1st round Facebook - feedback: nailed technical questions but not passionate enough - I’d just worked 15hr days for 16 days straight, but feedback is gift and all that ... Failed final round for Amazon head of 3rd part success - was up against a Deloitte Director so pretty chuffed just to have made it that far. Also feel that the market is completely stagnant in the U.K. Is there realistically any chance of going anywhere better or should I just stick it out for the Manager promotion?
