Current MBA at Slalom - we don’t value it highly (or really at all)

I think an MBA is worth it for your professional & personal network (as long as it’s a top 10ish brand). However Slalom won’t reward you for it.

If you want to get the dollars that come from adding an MBA, you’ll need to exit to another firm or head to industry

If planning to stay at Slalom- no need at all for professional growth. If you want to grow personally or outside of Slalom, I would highly recommend. Lot of doors will open outside with MBA (also with much higher comp than S). Slalom does not value MBA at all.

2 reasons to go:

1) you want to tap into network and recruiting opps at a school

2) you want to fill a gap in tour general biz knowledge.

If it’s 1, aim high. If 2, find a local or virtual program that fits your schedule and won’t cost a lot and do part time.

Either way expect no roi from slalom for this.

Maybe a weekend program!

I would think only if you plan on transitioning out of your current role to something different and/or if you think the connections might help you eventually land more accounts if you plan on staying. If you want to stay get the company to pay for it

Hello! I’m currently a Administrative assistant now working at a major medical system in Baltimore. I’ve previously worked for 10 years as a medical assistant in a variety of specialties and primary care. Lately, I’ve been feeling a bit stuck as to my next step. Part of me want to go into management, another part is saying go get your RN, and the other is saying go into Social Work. I’m all over the place. Any ideas? And how would I be able to cross over to management?

What’s your work-life balance like? I feel like I’m constantly working after hours, always balancing multiple projects, hardly ever going through a phase where there isn’t a ton of critical initiatives going on. It definitely wasn’t like this when I was a more junior PMM, but as a Senior PMM, my work-life balance has severely decreased. Is this just the nature of Product Marketing? Or can I actually find a senior PMM role that allows a bit more room to breathe?
