Admitted to HBS and hope to work in tech, but I'm nervous I'm going to graduate into a terrible job market for tech in 2 years. Does anyone else have this fear even if attending a strong program?

My two cents - you can't time the market, for stocks or for job market strength. So take the bird in hand and try to make the best of the time at the place. Network, show genuine curiosity and try to leverage the great brand name!

If you are trying to go from Consulting to big Tech you need to be happy with operations or business development kind of roles. No one in tech wants non tech people in P.M. roles these days

Hi guys currently I'm working in a project with very stringent timelines. Sometimes we need to put more than 13-14 hrs each day. There are 4 members in my team. Two are involved in database prt and me and my lead are involved in the front end and middle layer prt. Somehow my lead is not at all pleased with my work. And even if I try to talk to him for something he is completely rude. Sometimes it makes me that I m completely useless. Even the other team members are following the lead

Burned out in current role. 10-plus years post-MBA experience in Corp Fin role unable to move up to Director due to lack of "scope" - limited to no opps. Currently, work 40-50 hours week (minimal to no weekends) and earn ~250 TC. Work day is "intense" - many quick turnaround projects from task to task.

Is it worth shopping around? Can I get promo to Director level at another Tech company, earn more and still maintain same level of hours (limited weekend work)? Less intense days possible?

Additional Posts in MBA Applicants

My colleagues
Just to put some intro
I am 22 years after college experience and worked in consulting for 15 years and currently in industry for 7 years.
My long term goal is to go back to consulting more of a business advisor from a strategy perspective
Here is my question
Would MBA be any good for me especially looking at strategy side?
I don’t want to spend $200K and would probably go online MBA in a mid tier school. Are those any good?
Looking forward to your great input on this topic
