Hey guys,
I'll keep it short and simple:
Currently at BB BO for about six months. Cant stand it and looking for a way out. I have an offer at a tech company that is growing really fast for their Sales Operations Analyst position. Nothing fancy but definitely more analytical and interesting. Which would look better for getting an MBA in the future?
**I have a ton of former BB BO contacts that were able to make it to MBA business schools<br /> ">M7 but I just cant stand working here and would like to get out if possible!!
Thanks
I will also keep it short. Choose tech.
The bubble will inevitably burst. I was out at CES and I can't believe some of the crap out there successfully raising funds. Its really a personal decision for the OP as far as risk aversion and long term career goals. I would choose the tech gig if they are well capitalized and have a solid product but if the primary driver is b-school then BB BO brand name is > a potentially no name start-up that is statistically destined to fail.
Well, I guess its no longer really considered a start up. It has grown pretty large and has products used by half of fortune 100 companies. I am just worried that brand name would be a factor in MBA admissions.
I accidentally gave you +1, lol
There are several reasons why startup (assuming real one with revenue/funding) is better strictly in terms of bschool application:
Thanks! Very helpful, i was leaning more towards the start up.... So we shall see what happens. i have a couple more weeks to decide
Name brand is important but if you're super bored at your job you're unlikely to take on the additional responsibility that is necessary to make you stand out.
Well I think it wont be too difficult to come up with an interesting story with my experience in BB BO. I am just sick of the mundane tasks and want something more challenging. The start up has been around for about 6 years now and is ranked top 25 in the nations fasting growing companies on Forbes.
It sounds like you've already made up your mind that you'd like the tech company more. If its growing fast and you like it, go for it. There are jobs with much larger upsides than getting into an MBA program just to have to look for another job later down the road. You may have just found one.
Definitely the start up.
