Extremely unhappy at work. I'm overworked, I feel like the work is never ending. I really want to quit but feel like I need to continue because being a senior is good experience for applying to MBA

Seriously. You trying to get into Harvard or state school? I not would bother with an MBA from any school that isn't marquee at this point. 80% of my clients have them from peon programs and don't know their bungholes from their elbows.

Pretty standard that everyone knows MBAs are garbage. The only people impressed by those are people who aren't in business. An MBA was really designed for other majors to go back and get a business degree, that's why they're so easy for us. Master in something that you can't sleep through to pass.

MBAs are only valuable if from top programs. Nobody pays notice to an MBA from state universities. You seem to be aware of that as you mentioned top 5/10. But you also did mention that you feel the work is never ending. This isn't something that will change after an MBA. Jobs that pay you $150K plus are going to require more than a 40 hour work week 99% of the time...

MBAs are all about the networking. That's why the top schools matter. It's not worth the cost for a non top program. The opportunity cost of not working plus the cost of the program aren't worth it if you're not making $160K+ upon exit.

M1 I totaly understand that. I've been working 60+ hrs/week since January, my office is extremely understaffed and it feels there is no end in sight to the overworking. That and I do not enjoy the work at all anymore, it becomes more tedious every day.

^ever heard of reading between the lines? We obviously are trying to differentiate between Top 20 programs and non-top 20 state schools. Sure Michigan is a public institution, but also it is a Top 20 program. Therefore it's not the type of state school we are talking about. Don't be so literal...

study for the CFA instead

yes true but also valuable if you want to move into an entry level finance role

I had my PM 5 on-site interviews at Google yesterday! It was great except for my last interview. My estimation was maybe a 5/10. A few things happened: it was introduced with only 10 minutes, there was a surprise extra person shadowing, and my interviewer turned her camera and mic off twice turning that part of call. I wasn't sure if I should keep going or wait and late I day, I couldn't stop from being thrown. Is there any value in letting my recruiter know that the interview didn't go well?
