Hi all, I'm really excited to be admitted to some great programs. I am a veteran with almost 8 years of military logistics experience at time of matriculation this fall. This is a really tough decision between these two schools, because I'm targeting operations and LDP roles, ideally in big tech industry, in the same city as the MBA program; I'm a weary traveler so it's time to settle down to a geographic area (So McCombs/Austin or Tepper/Pittsburgh). Let's disregard the relevance of finances in weighing my decision, as it is both a non-issue and not a major factor in my decision.
-Tepper has the more prestigious operations curriculum, but McCombs has well ranked programs for both analytics and information technology.
-From what I can tell there are a significantly larger number of operations opportunities in Austin just due to the explosiveness of city growth and becoming a national tech hub, vs Tepper where I hear a lot of the benefits of the OPS curriculum is to feed into consulting and LDPs outside of Pittsburgh.
-They are both pretty comparable in terms of % of graduates who place in the tech industry, but I have no data on how many of those offers are for OPS roles.
-Tepper has the more "analytical" curriculum which could be of use in OPS recruiting, but I'm not sure if the difference in program focus would be significant for U.S.-based students (STEM-designation rabbit-hole discussion aside).
-Pittsburgh is a gritty Gotham underdog story, Austin is kinda turning into a Metropolis of the southwest. so we have your classic batman vs superman tale here.
I'll greatly appreciate all feedback/opinions covering any of what I've discussed. Thank you!

Thank you, but no previous discussion post, including the ones you linked, specifically covered the availability of tech operations roles in the co-located cities. Thus, I post lol.
