(Cont.) small tech company with good GMAT (700). I’m afraid to leave Deloitte thinking that I won’t get into a good B school having worked at a smaller, not as reputable company doing what I’m interested in.

Neither, go start your own company and stop listening to other people tell you that you must have a top 20 MBA to make it. Take that top 20 MBA tuition and use it as seed money. And yes to the question - am I doing it?

I would only leave Deloitte if you can tell a compelling narrative for why that experience is complementary/additive to the experience you’ve already had. Big/small doesn’t have a lot to do with it— more important is if you’ve had a meaningful change in title or if you are making a move to a different industry. Small especially can be good if it shows entrepreneurship.

If you have the gmat now why wait to apply? 2 years is plenty long for most schools and Deloitte has some good sponsorship options iirc

Tech Consultants are a dime a dozen im the applicant pools of top MBAs, show versatility and make sure your story lines up with where you want to be.

Schools will probably look at them the same but you can learn a lot by being in industry that may help you decide what you want to do after your MBA, which is the whole point of getting an MBA. If Product Mgr isn’t your thing, get back into consulting after w/ a much stronger background.

I have been working remotely since covid getting nothing but positive reviews. My company is not remote friendly and is now telling me I have to return to the office or I lose my job.

I understand life isn’t fair but is there an ethical problem with this?

Hi all! After graduating with my MBA with a focus in project management, I moved organizations to go from an EMR education manager to a full time project manager specializing in EMR implementation projects. I’ve found that although I enjoy the work- changing organizations and roles in a remote world was harder than I anticipated. I want to be great at my job and I think connecting with others that have gone through similar things could help.
