Why did you get an MBA or why are you getting an MBA? Feeling very lost as my ultimate goal is to relocate to my country of origin (developing country) to pursue my entrepreneurial journey (cotd)

Made a dumb mistake two years ago and did my mba at a school outside of the top 25 - how does one recover from this?

PSA: Do not work with Personal MBA Coach. Definitely look elsewhere if you want to hire.

A prerequisite for MBA admission should be being single. STOP TAKING UP SPOTS FOR POTENTIAL PARTNERS! This is ridiculous - the one place we can find someone, everybody’s already committed

I’m thinking of pursuing an MBA soon - but as crazy as this sounds, I’m worried that being an MBA would make me more intimidating to men. Ladies out there feel me on this? (Cont’d)

Is getting a MBA or JD beneficial to get out of tax compliance work?

Firm will sponsor my MBA, but is it worth going? Two years of lost earnings and no additional gain in promotion trajectory. I know an MBA can be a good two year vacation, but I’m not sure if there’s much more value besides that. 🐠 who did / didn’t take the MBA sponsorship, what was your rationale?

Thoughts on getting MBA while pregnant? is it even doable?

I am leaving consulting but my wife is looking at applying when she finishes her executive MBA. She did a PhD and her current job is low effort (her words). She is convinced that consulting or a very successful corporate career (c suite) can be achieved in 40 hours a week. I dont think this is realistic in 95% of situations, including ours. We both want strong careers and need to allocate enough time / out source house work. How can I stress that her expectations are way off? Or am I off base?

Is golfing for business still regular thing or has it fallen out of practice? Especially asking at tier 1 and 2 firms. I have been playing all my life but not sure if I should take it more seriously as I start MBA.

I know imposter syndrome has been discussed a lot here and it’s something I’m working through. A girl in my MBA class told me “Of course you’re good at giving presentations-you’re pretty and blonde.”

25m. Consulting for 3 years. I got into a top 10 mba program for the fall, so normally a no brainer. With covid I’m not sure. Is there any benefit to an mba if it’s all online? Firm isn’t paying (and haven’t told them - I’m at a boutique so I’d have to quit) and no indication it’s it’s online or not. Very anxious about having to decide. What are others thinking?

Go to college, work for 1-2 years, get MBA, get married, have children, work the career ladder, DIE! I refuse to repeat this pattern. 2020+ I’m living my own life. Viva la millennials 😂!!!!!

Pros/cons of CFA vs MBA. General finance interest. 1 year post grad. Could eventually do both but curious people’s thoughts and career paths
