23 YO Deloitte Analyst: I’m debating between a 1 year or 2 year graduate program next year, I’d want to go full time but worried about sacrificing a salary for up to 2 years. Has anyone been through this and could give me some advice?

Given the state of the economy - could you afford to wait a little bit before going to grad school?

Estimates are that this recession will last anywhere from a year to two years.

When you come out of grad school you will be competing for a very small number of spots - I expect lots of people to turn to grad school as a result of the shrinking job market. Delaying a bit longer will ensure you’ve got a stronger economy to come back to.

Which graduate programs are you looking to join? If it’s in data science or a more niche field I would recommend 2 year as learning the statistics and internal workings of ML model takes time. If it’s a business program you are planning to attend and it’s all about the network. Duration won’t matter much

Fellow enterprise tech sales fish, I’m interested to hear your perspective. I’ve been in a rut lately and seriously considering leaving sales. I think it’s primarily fueled by one thing:
After a 6 mo cycle I closed a large deal (4x the average deal size) prior to receiving delayed 2022 comp plans. The deal counts as a 2022 deal. On last years comp plan it would’ve paid out at 10%. This year it pays out at a measly 4%.

How do you/have you navigated your way through and out of these situations?

QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...
