Worth it to take a pay cut to leave T2 (2.5 YOE) for a high growth, tech unicorn? Product strategy role. Thinking it will be a better story for MBA with aim to land a product/ S&O role at FAANG post-MBA. Expected 20% total compensation cut

Which unicorn? Are you already an associate at ATK? Shouldn’t have to take a paycut

Make the choice that's right for your career. The MBA should be an ancillary part of it; in most cases, the right choice from an admissions perspective is whatever would have been the best next step anyways.

Thank you, this is really the right way to think about it

Yea

If it’s more aligned to what you want to do, then yes. The longer you stay in consulting, the stronger the golden handcuffs become!
