28F Married; applying as a couple
Post-soviet country
GMAT 710 (will retake)
3.7 GPA
MiF from Europe
2 years work experience at sovereign wealth fund (asset management)
2.5 years work experience at MBB (entry level consultant)
New offer from a local late stage start-up as chief of strategy (education startup, fits well with intended MBA story)
Target schools: GSB, HBS, Booth, Wharton, Columbia
Post MBA goals - business development/strategy in tech/industry
Additional question: I am inclined to take the offer at the start-up; I am going to be sponsored by my MBB since I'm not planning to return. But I have heard mixed opinions from people around. Some say it is a great addition to my background. Others say that in emerging countries, start-up does not have any added value, that I'm losing the MBB name and it will make it lowers chances of admissions and make it hard in recruiting process upon graduation. Which one makes more sense?

Hi mcnabakuk, hmmmm tough question to answer without more specifics, but it sounds like it's what you want to do, and it's aligned with your goals, and I can't imagine you'd leave MBB for just any old opportunity...so my guess is that this job could be a good move. It kind of depends on how robust this job is-- both the company and role should be enticing. Sometimes with startups, hires can jump in without a good grip on the exact job scope and chance to make an impact in a real way vs. just putting out small fires constantly and reacting...so I'd make sure you understood the realities of what you'll do. It's hard for me to answer how this job will affect your recruiting process - recruiting into WHAT? Consulting? Education? Where? The US? Your home country? Somewhere else? I just don't know enough to answer, but what I'd do is network and try to find some folks who are actually IN the target places you'd LIKE to work post-MBA and ask them what they think about it. They'll have a better idea than I will because they will know what their companies/industries value and have better information on what we're talking about. So, time to do some networking! (The good news is this will only help you make relationships that will enhance your opportunities later, whatever you decide). Best of luck!
