For MBA apps, which one looks better: 1 - 4 year tech consulting with earlier promotion. 2 - 2 year tech consulting with promotion, 2 years start up?

It depends. What’s your story? What is your long term dream? What’s your target industry after MBA? For example, if you want MBB then 1 would make more sense for most admissions teams, if big tech/growth stage startup then 2. There’s no silver bullet

I'm at a career juncture and have decided on a career in anti-money laundering as my new path. I'm also highly interested in additional education to further my career and am eyeing graduate school. Which is best? A law degree or a master's in international relations? Those are where my interests lie. I keep reading that JDs are valued in compliance but am wondering if a different graduate program is better for my goals. I already plan to obtain the CAMS certification. Thank you!

Hi Fishes,
 
I want to have some career advice!
 
I have experience of 4.5 years in Salesforce development and I wanted to make a switch into SDE of a product-based firm.

Have some experience in sales development (mainly business development & strategic advice to C-level), branding/marketing, facilitation (as a side-job) and working with content creators.

I’m new to this space so not sure about what kind of roles there are?

2. Look for Fidelity ETFs that are similar to Vanguard ETFs
3. Use smaller brokerages like SoFi l, Robinhood etc.
