Top sports management positions are 100% nepotism. You need to know the right people or be related to the right people, no amount of educational degrees will change that

Second this

Are you rich, white, and have family friends in the industry? That is what is needed.

The MBA is literally irrelevant.

Probably best to just LinkedIn creep around and work it back from there.

I would imagine a lot of sports management is NYC/LA/Miami based so you’d want to go to schools around there or the obvious HSW

There are sports teams across all of North America bud.

Do a LinkedIn search. Probably HBS for overall - (bigger size is an advantage over GSB here). Sloan for the conference. But I imagine it’s not so easy to get a leadership role in that on campus so it’s a little “all eggs on one basket” to have that be your only play.

What do you mean by sports management? You want to be vp of finance at a team? Or the GM?

I am currently a medical biller and coder that just graduated. I am currently in an entry level position because I am still studying to get certified. I will have a year's work of exp in July and will sign a contract for another year because my boss is training me in more I don't know.

I'm wondering what the pay is for someone in my position without certification. I live with family and want to afford to move out but I am single and only make $18/hr. Is that standard or am I being underpaid?

Trying to figure out if I should start as an inbound SDR, or try jumping straight into an AE role in SaaS.

I left mortgages at the beginning of the year to start a franchise business, it's now semi-self-sufficient so wanted to start a career again and I live in the Silicon Slopes area. Everyone I know is in SaaS or software engineering.

Just wondering if I should push my resume as far as possible and try to snag an AE role or take my time in a new industry and start from the bottom.
