For hiring managers at jpm. Is an MBA worth it? I have my boss who is a 603, who motivated me towards that goal but the 604, 605, and a recruiter have told me an MBA doesn’t matter to them and wouldnt make them want to hire. Should I continue?

It depends. For MBA from like H/S I guess it does open doors. Especially the network of alumni from senior leadership could be really helpful. If it’s not a famous school, I don’t think it will help much. It’s definitely not a decision factor in most cases. Even for H and S it’s more the network really. But the higher you go, who you are buddy with matters more.

I guess if you haven’t worked in IB before and want to break in, then the right MBA program could help. That’s what MBAs are good for — switching function / industry if you don’t have previous experience. You’ll have to start from lower level though (likely associate).

Hey FishBowl Friends, so I’m currently trying to break into tech sales/FinTech and I feel that due to my previous work history, I might not look like the ideal candidate on paper but I’m an extremely fast learner and very coachable. I’ve been a manger at a gym, got my degree in finance, worked as a client advisor at a top 3 auto dealer in the nation and now I’m a project manager at a solar company. I really want something that’s remote and steady, any recommendations on how to spruce myself up?
