EMBA / GEMBA yay or nay? I am about to get promoted to SM next month. Never thought that I would get so far in this job, but now I’m here I might do an extra push and get either PPMD or fat exit op.

If you’ve made it to SMGR, the MBA doesn’t matter at this point and an EMBA won’t be a differentiator for partner. It’s all about on the job performance and sponsorship from here on out.

If you want training, look for specialized programs and see if D will sponsor you. I would also guess there’s some internal programs you should ask for.

Don’t waste $100-150k on a diploma that won’t move the needle on your candidacy.

Not sure about D but I know of PPMDs at EY without advanced degrees

Perhaps not mandatory, but all my PPMDs or peer SM hold a Masters at least. Hard to differentiate myself without one I guess?

@OP. I second was VP1 said. I was in the same boat as you few years ago, felt that I “lacked” some refinements that an EMBA gets you, to get to PPED, also applied to schools and got accepted. But after carefully evaluating fee requirements (100-150k), and discussing with SO, I decided to use that money towards the down payment of my house... one of the best decisions I have made.

DM me if you would like to talk further.
