Hi! I'm new here so I'm not sure if this topic has been discussed before (if so, please excuse me). I've always wanted to pursue an MBA after gaining sufficient work experience, but now I'm really split between whether to pursue an MBA (and if it's worth the money) or to pursue another MSc instead. I hope I can gain some insights from the community here. Thank you!

Which are the best shcools to do an MBA from in Europe?

This is a question which I'm curious about people's thoughts. Mostly reflecting on the past since I'm way too far in audit to make a career change. Did I make a mistake by not trying for law school? I took the LSAT when I was a first year associate and got a 168. At this point, the score expired and would need to retake. I know law is riskier than audit. But a part of me wonders if I'd have been better off (except more student loans) if I went to law school instead of sticking with audit?

I’m currently working as Help Desk in the IT industry and I’ve been doing tech for about 15 years, but I am currently in school and close to graduating with my Associate’s in Psych.

Any A.A’s graduates that can vouch? 🥺

Welcome and thank you for joining this bowl. I'm hoping that this will be a place where fishbow-lers can respectfully share their experiences of toxicity at companies that continue to harbor these little "corporate terrorist". But most importantly, I want people to be heard without being censored, which is what Glassdoor, Indeed and LinkedIn seem to be doing on behalf of some companies.

Happy New Year, y’all TO fishies.
