Exec MBA probably not - be better off trying thr internal networking route.

Full time MBA at a top 20 school definitely would though

My perspective is all US based, cant help you over in Europe unfortunately.

Yes it will.

1. What’s your YOE? Both will get you to a strategy role. Executive and full time MBA student profiles are quite different. Do you fit better in the group of 20+ with 2-3 yoe or 30+ with 10+ yoe? One of the biggest value is the cohort / leaning from peers.
2. Which schools are you targeting? Using a MDs word, not worth it unless it’s top 10 (exec MBA).

I’ve seen both with your YOE, full time or part time from M7 made the switch successfully. It should be easier if you do your MBA and transfer within your current firm.

Anyone have any friends who successfully pivoted out of advertising? I know a handful of people who are half-trying to, but I can’t think of anyone who has made a clean break, on their own terms, into something that appears to be making them feel more fulfilled than they were in the ad biz. So they continue freelancing in order to make a living, while not gaining much traction elsewhere.

Hello there! I currently work in billing at a medical office.

I’m hesitant to try case management or social work because I worry I won’t like it but I want to use my degree in Psychology. Does anyone have any ideas for me?

Community, I’ve been meeting with a lot of people regarding next steps in my career. One of the best pieces of advice I received is to avoid micro-managing executive staff (agency leadership), as it puts downward and unwelcome pressure on people’s managers and ultimately oneself. Based on your experience in the last 2 years are there:
- Agencies you would steer clear from because their leadership micromanages
- Agencies you would recommend because their leadership gives you room to grow

Thx 🙏🏼

Hi Everyone - I was hoping someone could throw some light on the kind of work trust and safety does.
