Would you turn down a T10-15 mba (Haas, Darden, Ross, Tuck) for a director role at a boutique consulting firm? $160k-$170k base in a LCOL, TC $200k-$220k?

Or an Adobe pre-sales role, remote and similar base-bonus?

Unlocks short term and long term career opportunities. Getting that offer would negate the short term opportunities but not the long term ones. Would be a tough decision to make though. I interviewed with 6 T10-15 schools and feel I did well enough to get 1 or 2 admits. I think statistically speaking to get 0 admits from 6 interviews would be a pretty big blunder, and I do consider myself a good interviewer.

Also nearing the final round for that director level role as well as the Adobe one so will need to decide what the next 5 years of my life will look like within the next several weeks

Hi! I started at a new company 2 months ago and while I’m really enjoying my job so far, I’m having a hard time gauging whether or not I’m doing a “good job.” My role seems to be always evolving, which is fine and I actually enjoy being a support to the greater marketing team, but I feel like I need better defined targets to make sure I’m meeting expectations. Also, when I ask my boss what they’d like to see, I don’t ever get a clear answer. (Cont’d in comments)
