Right here. Good program for networking in tech and oil. No opportunity to choose electives, which sucked. Good classes and curriculum. Tailgate is awesome

Are you in MC, A1?

One of my friend is in that program ... he is struggling to network .... college OCR is no help .... any tips on networking ? He wants to go to Big 3

Oh yeah OCR requires a bit of work. Networking is tough, the part time program doesn't get many wins for consulting. Im in Strategy

D1, that's what concerns me--unhelpful OCR

Congrats. Must not have been easy as the FT program isn't a target.

I definitely got lucky. One of the few years strategy went after mccombs. I don't think I'm in a position to offer advice on networking - I didn't do it very well

We've hired a few people from the program

Nope. Booth, Kellogg, Fuqua, Darden, Wharton, Ross.

And Johnson. Though there's a strong push for hiring people for Houston, so wouldn't be surprised if they gave more consideration to McCombs.

Ah yeah I'm in Houston have seen a few McCombs alum in strat.

Does MBB hire from the mccombs grad? I went there for undergrad and they only took top kids in BHP so I had no chance

P1, I've met McCombs full time MBA's at MBB

A1,did you get strategy to sponsor you? Didn't they stop paying for PT MBAs a long time ago

No I came from industry

Got it, thanks

Hello! I have a two part question: 1) is it worth it to obtain an SHRM specialty credential if I don’t have the broader SHRM certification? 2) has anyone gotten the People Analytics or Talent Acquistion credential? If so, how valuable was it from a learning perspective? Do you feel it significantly contributed to your knowledge in either area? Thank you!

Hi all,
Need an advice. I am confused between doing masters or learn tech stack and increase experience and salary.
*My primary goal is to earn more.*
If masters I have to do in US or UK, so GRE, GMAT.
If for learning and tech experience I can learn tech stacks.
But I am confused between this.
Could you please tell or suggest what would be a better choice? Is doing masters in US or UK is a better ROI or be in India and gain exp and earn more by switching?
Currently I am a Java developer.
TIA

SPHR exam- has anyone ever been “randomly selected” for an application audit? This just happened to me and the sheer amount of effort that is going to go into collecting all the documents almost makes me not want to follow through. Since I didn’t finish undergrad, they’re asking for a copy of my high school diploma or transcript and that itself is going to be an absolute nightmare to get hold of. Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.
