Do those of you who got into post-MBA roles without an MBA get looked at or treated differently? Do others bring it up? Feel like my firm doesn't send me to recruit as much because of it

Currently a manager, no mba, and in mid-20s

Clients and partners usually ask initially; but it’s usually easier after that

In regards to recruitment, I get offers to interview and recruit people couple of times in a year. Not sure what the norm should be

I worked at EY-P and now a PM at Amazon and it is a challenge for sure.

It doesn’t get directly brought up but it is there. I see it in certain roles and assignments which means I have to out perform those who have them.

It is during whitepaper review with execs where I can equalize or exceed in perception.

Do you get the sense that those at your level who are a few years older and have MBAs point you out as someone who got out of it? Especially curious for direct promotes

One of my senior collegiate colleagues once told a partner, in front of me, that my years of experience lacking an MBA don’t mean much 😂🤷🏻‍♂️ so there’s always that

New York folks:
Are you aware of the CPA exam credit extension to 2021 for NY CPA candidates impacted by COVID19? It’s on a person-by-person basis and you need to request the extension. Has anyone tried doing this yet? Can anyone shine more light on this? The extension would really help me, but I’m not sure what more to tell them in my email than the fact that I couldn’t sit for the exams this Spring/Summer due to test centers closing in NYC.

Hi all!
Would love some insight on how you went from an HR assistant/coordinator to an HR Generalist. I’ve been in the HR world for 8 years, and only in the last 2-3 have I really done real HR work. The first company I was at didn’t have a solid HR team so I don’t really count that. I feel like I’m ready to take on more responsibility and learn more. And of course make more money.

I have looked into getting SHRM certification. But should I go back to school and get my masters in Hr?
