So I have an offer for the Replenishment Leadership Program at Walmart. Quick Breakdown:
-6 months of supply chain training
-After 6 months you are assigned a product category and you are responsible for the inventory management/demand forecasting of that product for all 5000+ stores in the United States.
-Within 6 months I'd be managing inventory worth over 1 billion dollars
So it is a supply-chain position. I know this isn't this forum's specialty, but how do you think this job would look for MBA exit opportunities? Is this a M7 level experience? My plan would be to do this for 3-4 years and then go for a top 7 MBA program.
My other offers are PwC Tech Consulting in Seattle and Goldman Sachs Tech Analyst in SLC.
Thanks for your help!

Not sure if you are still looking for advice or suggestions (most likely you have already had to make a choice) - it really depends on your long term career plans or aspirations. You have quite a few diverse options in front of you and you may or may not need to spend $200 on an MBA down the road. If you like Logistics and Supply Chain, then you should follow your heart and excel at that and really do an amazing job... you will need that as the retail industry is forecast to be struggling somewhat and you will have an opportunity to reverse that trend or completely bomb
The other two jobs are much safer but seems would offer less responsibility but with two very strong names. They will expose you to quite a few opportunities but again, you will either love it or hate it.
P.S. Most of us went for an MBA because we wanted to get out of the jobs/industries we were in. You ave in a very different situation as you are entering a new job/industry and thinking about exiting it is a bit premature - you have not put in the time and suffering yet
