Thoughts on GMAT retake?

Considering a 3rd GMAT attempt to attach to GSB, Sloan, and Haas (R1 apps already in; Haas/Sloan may accept new scores, GSB likely not).

For context:
• International Hispanic/Latino
• GMAT FE 675 (81Q, 91V, 97DI), 3.3 GPA at target European uni (dual degree) + MBA Math 94%
• 3 yrs MBB + 2 yrs tech sales in FAANG, multiple awards

Qualitative side (LoRs, essays) solid but borderline stats (low GPA, average GMAT, tried mitigating MBA Math).

Worth retaking?

Got a 30% salary bump, via an offer for Senior Consultant S&O from Deloitte. Currently underpaid at EY Advisory. I'm MBA and this year is my promotion year at EY for Manager. What to do? Get demoted and move to D? Or counter at EY? Even if EY matches my salary, and promote me to Manager, I will be an EY Manager with a Deloitte SC salary, and probably won't be able to go to D in the future. What do you think? I have built up a good relationship with my Partner and SMs at EY though.

Does an MBA (US) make sense for me? Male, Indian, Age 32, Married working in tech consulting with 10 YOE. Base is $165 with steady increases and bonus is typically 15%. I eventually do want to cross the $300K threshold but I know stopping work for 2 years and getting and MBA probably won’t get me a $300K job right away. Becoming a manger in my current company/path will probably get me there in terms of TC. Also considering EMBA from a good school (Wharton Global, Duke, Kellogg, Booth).

Incoming MBA, I have my tuition paid for and rent covered (I will be an RA). So the only thing I need to pay for is food and entertainment. Do you think 20k is enough to last me through the 2 years?

Interviewing question: for anecdotal “tell me abt a time when..”, & similar questions - are you allowed to recycle stories from your undergrad years or do they only look for post grad/work stuff?
