I am a first-year in a front office role at a top BB bank (GS/MS/JPM), joined the firm this past summer. I would love to pursue a startup idea and run with it while I have the option of going to b-school if the startup blows up. My question is how would this experience be perceived by adcoms at top MBA programs, particularly H/S/W? 6-7 months at a top bank and leaving to launch a startup?
An issue that occured to me is if my letter of recs weren't from older bosses (since I'd be starting my own business), would that be dealbreaker at top business schools?
