Government work looks good for MBA?
I was curious if working at a government agency (SEC, Treasury, Federal Reserve) would look good for someone applying to an MBA program.
Would it be considered in the same way as IB or Consulting? Would it be "different" and thus unique and thus give you an edge? Or is it just bullshit and they don't care?
The military might.
good work looks good for MBA aps... do your best in any field you choose and you will stand out
Government work can definitely look good - it all depends on how you tie it in to your future goals and your story.
I am reading a book right now called "Your MBA Game Plan" which I highly recommend. Also, check out the WSO Business School Bible, which I reviewed on my blog - it is actually a fantastic resource and has advice tailored to different groups (government included).

Best of luck.
I've met one or two who came from the Fed and the FBI
the answer is a definite yes.
assuming the job appears legitimate and isn't administrative/menial in nature.
I do interviews for a top 10 school and YES. A government job looks better than a standard, run of the mill applicant. Schools love diversity and people from different paths.
