I think a Masters looks better for management roles.

Depends. Are you interested in staying local to your community and working at a smaller firm (100-1000 employees)? If so, a PHR certification is probably better. If you’re interested in working at a Fortune 500 firm, the MHR will open more doors.

Go for a master's if you want to pursue leadership/management roles. If you are more interested in smaller companies, then go for PHR.

I think PHR tends to be more practical personally

I have an offer to join a startup as an APM. The only downside is that the engineering team is located offshore in India. I’m concerned about the resulting impact because of 1) the potential late night calls 2) the learning opportunities missed by not working with a US engineering team (communication tactics, translatable skills) 3) potential exit opps into FAANG pm roles due to not having experience with an onshore eng team. Would any one be able to speak to this from experience or share advice
