I am a college hire associate who works in cloud implementation. What would a roadmap look like to get get into a tech strategy role at T2 from this point (mba?, timing?, certifications?, etc.) While I enjoy implementation, I want to work in a tech strategy role that is more general and strategy focused compared what I do now.

My Mom and Dad are about to receive approx $300k post taxes from the sale of some of their farmland. They don’t have much saved for retirement and would like to use this money to augment their social security. they have an extremely low risk tolerance. They would be very happy with anything from a 3-5% yoy return but would want to start withdrawing on that in the near future. Anyone have any suggestions or been in a similar position?
