Good question, highwyre - I would likely take a job, if I land one. I guess I am requesting advice on how to manage all of these things and do them well. Study 15-20 hours per week, work 50+ hours per week, work on B-school apps and job apps. Seems daunting. I guess I really am not sure how likely it is that I could land a job at a bigger consulting firm, but I feel pretty confident in gaining admission to a top 10+ B-school (assuming a mid-700 GMAT). I just need to learn how to find a balance.
I hear ya, and theres no easy solution...
Currently On my plate:
Apps for B-School, luckily done with the gmat, but still everything else that goes into it,
Busting my ass at work to get a promotion and prove myself to a new boss,
Just moved into a new apartment - so all the packing and unpacking that goes along with that...
AND
I'm getting married in 2 months(who knew how much work that was...). This means every single weekend if full of planning, and showers, and picking up that stupid customized cake topper an hour away that the Fiancee HAD TO have...
How do you manage all that... I have no eFFing clue... but you do... Honestly, consulting firms create MBA candidates and employ MBA graduates, so, the same resume, and same style of writing and vision should be perfect for applying to those types of jobs, you wont even need to put on a different writing hat. You'll do it, just stay focused.
