Which one do you prefer? These are very different areas. I’m Supply Chain & Ops and I have not seen many candidates that would be well suited to both.

Both areas are probably fine. Finance because it is finance and that is steady. Supply chain as the amount of ongoing disruption means firms need to spend a lot to ensure they have a solid set up to at can reach to climate change, covid, war in Ukraine, China zero covid policy etc

Any chance I could dm you for further guidance?

At what point does the value of a degree fall off? I'm in my early 30s, and have five years of experience, and work on a very theoretically interesting project. I believe I'm on track to promotion in the next year. So, I could put in a year of full time school to check the box off, but I'd be sacrificing hobbies and social life (not to mention cost). Is this FOMO or is there real opportunity here?

If I accept the promotion to Partner/Principal what's the least number of years I could work without it being a financial mistake. I have an opportunity to do something completely unrelated that's my passion, but I feel like that's the wrong decision when I'm this close.

Also would leaving IBM after 1 year look bad on CV?
