Attractive work exp from a target b-school perspective

Hi guys,

Since I am changing jobs at the moment, I wanted to ask for your opinion if any of these would be strongly preferable from a future b-school application perspective: -seed vc analyst/associate (more business-oriented, less analytical), -corp dev analyst for a rather acquisitive gaming company (private, valued at ~$1bn) (more technical in terms of financial analysis, less business-oriented).

Or should I try my best to join a high-tier IB/consultancy with an application to US-based, target B-schools in mind?

I am currently based in Europe and not in London. My previous experience is a year in BB ER (in London), a year in a boutique consultancy and ~1.5 years of startup/own entrepreneurial exp.

Thanks!
