Retaking GMAT/Thinking about B-School

Hi,

I am currently finishing studies and soon I will be joining MBB as an analyst. Right after completing my BA (economics) I did MPA at the top Ivy. I have GMAT 720 and I have been interning in MBB, PE, banking and diplomacy. My long-term career goal is to work in the energy industry in the nexus of public and private sector.

I feel that pursuing an additional degree (MBA) may be not needed for me in the future but because of my MBB firm policy, I feel that maybe I will do it. Thus, I am just wondering whether I should spend some time now to retake GMAT (I scored 720 after a week of studying).

I will be grateful for your comments.
