My mind is confused a lot. What should i do now?

Hello Everyone,

I am Emerging Market Chimp from MENA region. I graduated from top college in my country with 3.3+ GPA. I've worked with some startups during my education. After graduation, I've worked for an early stage PE for a year. Then, i started to work at Corporate Development Strategy department in leading telecom operator. Those mostly were strategy & research jobs

I am planning to go MBA in 2-3 years and currently working on it. My target 700+ Plan: M7 or LBS, Insead

I would like to ask you about my mind confusion

I am 25 and want to improve myself as much as i can with a lot of projects. Where should i spend my next 2-3 years? Adv. & Disadv. of every of them

            - I've applied to Big4 and several corporate finance companies. Most likely to be accepted. Should i follow this side?
            - I am currently working on big projects. In 2-3 years, I might have limited transactions and projects to work but i will have multi-billion dollar transactions in my portfolio. Should i?
            - I might apply to McK/Bain/Boston for <abbr><abbr title="private equity">PE</abbr></abbr> consulting &amp; <abbr>M&amp;A</abbr> projects

Best regards,

Emerging Chimp
