chance of current job offers to top MBA

I am currently considering three offers at hand and have the plan to go into MBA 3-5 years down the line so I wonder which job has a better chance of adding to my application?

A. UBS private wealth management at Hong Kong B. a strategy boutique consulting firm (ranked on Vault) C. Deloitte tech consulting

I guess I do have the intention to try again on MBB since it didn't work out this time. But I was also surprised that the base salary for A post-tax is almost twice the amount for B and C, so I will be more prepared both financially to support myself in B school also I assume I'd have more time to prep for the application if I take A. But I don't know too much about the applications to B schools so I would really appreciate advice or opinions.

Just a hunch but i'd say the biggest brand name. Your'e undergrad and GMAT come into play too of course. Iv'e seen few threads where guys had a mediocre background with a stellar GPA and still got into good programs. Good luck.

We do a series on https://www.admitbrain.com where we analyze past columns written by Sandy Kreisberg to try & draw inferences for people applying to b-school.

I thought this question was a good example of something a lot of ppl wonder, so I dug into past columns & found some good snippets: https://www.admitbrain.com/blog/hbs-guru-2-21-which-jobs-do-business-sc…

The tl;dr is that you're probably fine w/ any of these choices, and should just pick whichever you'd like best. Hope that's at least somewhat relieving--just lmk if you have any questions & good luck!
