Has anyone undergone a significant career upgrade via Part Time MBA? If so what program? And what was OCR recruiting like (if it exists)?

@a1 someone is bitter this morning. I'm very happy with the strategy work KPMG has given me. I'm not an Ivy League MBBer but I don't get butt hurt by haters like you.

@a1 thanks for the intro. I did a part-time MBA when I was working in industry to make the switch to consulting. Saw a 30% increase in pay and probably a 30% increase in the amount of work I do. OCR is how I got here.

I was in industry in a purely technical role. Did a part time exec mba and OCR got me to consulting.

Went from Industry to Consulting via Part Time MBA program at a legit school. It's not like anyone needs to know you went part time. Worked out for me, especially since I didn't want to do strategy work anyway. It's all about what you want to do with it. Having my employer pay for a $100K MBA was clearly the no brainer for me.

@A1, did part time as well. Paid out of pocket and was worth it. OCR existed and was leveraged.

Acc1 and who are you? And yes, good friends of mine did part time MBA at places like Santa Clara or Berkeley. Consulting partners, evps at tech firms and so on. Not a bad way to go if you are in the right place, go for the right reason, have a plan.

If you do emba while in consulting you can use it as a bargaining chip to close any salary gap that may exists between you and your MBA counter parts. Having them pay for it and then having them adjust your salary is the best way to go.

Question for those in "tech" cities. I am in Northern VA and view this area as a potential tech destination of the future as FAANG moves towards servicing the federal govt (see HQ2). Is there much of a premium in terms of pay for the accountants in the current tech cities? Is a career in FAANG as an accountant better than public accounting if you never expect to make partner? There already seems to be a severe shortage of talent here in NoVa so I'm wondering what to expect 3-5 years out.

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?
