Practice case studies in your field of work, strategy is overrated - there is strategy in everything. You just need to train yourself to think bigger picture and always tie thinking back to benefit and value, be it business, customer, or IT.

I’ve already exited consulting and don’t care to go back. Have MS from a T10 relevant to my field and no plans to change industries or vertical. Mid-30s in a mid-level strategic role in F500. Not aiming for executive leadership anytime soon but want to work towards eventually. Will I have a glass ceiling in terms of professional growth and compensation without a MBA in corporate America? Would my MS and experience suffice, or do I really need the EMBA for advancement?
