Where my fellow MBA students at? Tired of only seeing ‘rate me’ posts on the MBA applicants bowl.

Tech / IT consultants - I’m considering my MBA in technology management. I want to go the CTO route. Outside of consulting, what type of roles do you typically see for someone after an MBA in Tech Mgt?

On a budget, has anyone completed online masters degree or MBA from a prestigious top 20 school? If so, how was the experience for u and whether it boosted ur career + what was the overall cost?

Has anyone pursued the CCWP (Certified Contingent Workforce Professional) certification? Was the exam difficult and did you feel it added value to your resume?

Anyone completed their GCTI certification from SANS recently and willing to help share their index?

Not being lazy, but mine didn't work well in my practice test.

TIA!

Currently going to school for my cannabis certification but I rarely see any jobs that offer cannabis research. I currently work in a lab/greenhouse environment and would love to continue that line of work with hemp/cannabis. Yet again no luck whatsoever, just finding jobs as budtenders or running a dispensary. Does anyone know where I can find research-based cannabis jobs? I have a degree in horticulture with lab experience.

Does anyone here without an MBA/MHA feel stuck in their current role? I have 8+ years of experience in consulting but recently moved to industry and am feeling a little stuck in terms of career mobility.

I have more than 2 years of experience as software developer. My main expertise is developing android and iOS mobile application. I recently moved to US to pursue my masters degree. As of right now, I am having hard time trying to get a job related to my field. No luck with freelancing sites.
It just sucks that I have so much potential in myself but I cannot live up to my potential.
Any advice??

Can someone please explain how McKinsey’s BA -> EM works? Seems to be a general lack of info on this topic
What percentage of folks get it?
How does the role compare to PL/SM at BB?(I find it insane someone can do the same work only 2-3 years out of undergrad)
What is the comp for a BA EM vs post mba EM?
Also skipping to EM sounds insane for getting to partner faster (assume it’s very very rare??)

Have no knowledge of DSA though.

Thanks in advance.

Say you're the new content/social manager for a small firm. They have less than 2k followers on their preferred platform of LinkedIn and the principal asks you what metrics will you use to measure success?

If the immediate goal is to raise awareness would you use vanity metrics like follower count, engagement, impressions, etc?

Say vanity metrics are good, for follower gain what would you set as a goal for month 1? How would you determine what this number ought to be?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Surveying the crowd: do you all prefer receiving cash gifts or physical gifts from your registry?

We're recently married and got a mix of both, and I can't decide what I want to do for friends' weddings going forward. On the one hand, the cash gifts were incredible and financed our honeymoon. But I also enjoy looking at things around the house and remembering who gave them. I'm curious what everyone thinks!

Real talk how do you adjust to the age differences in an mba? Recently started school at 25 and most of my classmates are 2-6 years older than me and sometimes it feels hard to connect - does it get easier over time? Am I imagining it?
