Do some employers actually cover your MBA costs after-the-fact if you decide to break your sponsorship with your current firm and switch to them? How feasible is it to obtain that?

The "unhelpful" comments, I think, were try I g to point out the self-answering nature of the question

I think the question may just be badly worded... OP, are you really asking whether it is possible to get a new company to take over sponsoring your MBA or pay off the commitment to your former employer? If so, you may find it easier to negotiate a signing bonus.

It's called, "Negotiating a Starting Bonus."

Didn't you take the negotiations elective at your B school?

I have been looking at the curriculums for Harvard Business School's Master of Business Administration and Harvard Extension School's ALM in Management. They both have the same requirements (generally speaking) including a capstone course that serves as a field immersion course with the Master's in Management, which is fairly new. If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?

I am ready for a more challenging role. However, there doesn’t seem to be much available at my current company. However, I am going on 5 months pregnant with the expectation of being out in October. I feel like once I mentioned my pregnancy I was in a holding pattern.

Is there a general expectation that a Partner has an MBA?

I doubt it's required at most firms but I'm a pretty senior staff and when I speak with Partners, they seem to speak with an MBA level of business knowledge which extends past their technical skillset.

I realize that's what makes them good Partners but it makes me wonder if I realistically need to get an MBA to keep growing and hit Partner.
