Hello

Right now I work at a middle market Investment Bank with hopes of getting an MBA from a top school. I went to a good LAC with a 3.8 GPA (Finance major) and I received a 720 on my GMAT. However, I am not really liking IB and I have an offer to do a financial leadership program (2 years) at a corporation, think Lockheed Martin. Now, to get into a top school which is better, doing 2-3 years at an IB or doing 1 year and a 2 year leadership program.

I also figured will doing this program I can do some community service and what not, stuff that is not possible while being at an IB.

What is my best move into getting into a top MBA school like top 5. Or does it not matter? Will leaving an IB program look bad? Please let me know.
