Anyone in tech going into MBA to stay in tech? I’m currently at Meta in a pm-adjacent role and want to apply next year and rejoin the workforce as a PM. The 2 year break and network is a big pull for me, and so is the tech recession and hiring freezes

Not common, but not uncommon either.

In your shoes I’d give it a shot and parallel path another way to PM in the event that the tech market turns around in the mid-term.

Applying next year means another 1.5-2 years before you’d actually start and then you make a decision then. 4 years until you actually go back into tech who knows what’s changed by then.

That’s my plan, gonna apply next year and try to make the switch in the meantime

I work as a Business Development Manager at a sports club.. I’ve been given a couple of months “trial” in the 6 figure and above sales in which I don’t see going back to my other role on lower sales.

How do I go about raising this concern? I believe I should be paid more now and at least change my job title?
