Hi!
I’ve been working for about 5 years. The first four were in marketing (with a focus on ops and analytics) and the last 1 has been in business intelligence.
I’m strongly considering an MBA in the next 2-3 years as I believe the network and general boost it could provide will be key for the rest of my career. I’m not looking to pivot, I’m interested in a career in analytics/operations. I'm hoping to use an MBA to give my career an upward boost and make new connections.
My question is I might have the chance to become a manager in the next two years and I’m wondering if it makes sense to wait to go back to school until after I have some management experience. My thought process is if I have management experience before MBA it will be easier to get a management job after. Does this make sense or seem like what other people have experienced?

Hi Acohen04
Most accepted MBA applicants have an experience range between 3-5 years. It is very difficult to become a manager within this range. Even if you became a manager, you would be a fresh manager with no managerial experience.
This means that the vast majority has no managerial experience. They seek MBA to build their experience faster and stronger.
Besides, the experience quality matters more than the number of years. Your experience seems diverse and interesting, and NOW would be your best timing.
My last advice, consider master in business analytics as well (or Business Analytics MBA major). Make sure your choice is aligned with your goals.
good luck
