Hi all - Currently working in management consulting. Post-MBA goal: transaction advisory at big4 or tech companies. I would like to hear your thoughts on Stern PT MBA vs.Ross MBA PT MBA?

I am looking for a referral in IBM for Business Transformation Consultant role. I am pursuing MBA from Tier 1 Bschool. And I have 3y8m of pre MBA of work experience.
Please help me with this.

Does having a PMP certification hold any water in digital media? Do folks care? I’ve been using PMI resources to help solve problems / improve stuff at my org, and I’m tempted to get the full cert but I’m not sure if it’d actually mean anything / have a meaningful impact on my career or pay.

It’s not a huge investment in time or money but if it doesn’t have much of an impact I’d rather just keep reading free resources online on my own time

Do anybody know or have, an opportunity for me. I just recently graduated. with my MBA degree in, Business Administration. Thanks in advance.

Ex healthcare workers in Tech/Sales Engineering/ Healthcare consulting;
I have my masters in nursing/FNP (1 yr) making <K70 (Indiana) due to low patient census in my role. No desire for a different FNP job nor to return to bedside nursing (RN 5 yrs). I have heard of some individuals with remote positions making >K100 with little to no experience in tech or consulting after doing a boot camp or cert?
If you pivoted; What’s your current role/ Income & what did you do to complete the transition?

Is it ok if I change my job mid 2023 if I want to apply for an MBA in fall 2023 ? I want to change my firm because of the pay, but I would get decent recommendation letters from here I think.
My current firm also does not sponsor MBAs.

Is the DAMA book worth the price? Has anyone gotten their CDMP cert? Is that even valuable to companies?

Why salaries in France are so low compared to other countries ?
I have senior tech background, managerial experience, and MBA degree.
I asked for 85k € gross for an Engineering Manager position, and the HR's reaction was like I'm asking for something outstanding. Or I'm looking in wrong places?

Hi Fishes!
Are MBA courses/certification from Upgrad good enough?

Are there aspects / outcomes of interviews that matter more than others? Just had an interview with a T10 where I think I nailed the why MBA, why this school, how you’ll contribute, etc., but the delivery on some of my behavioral questions was pretty meh.

Still think it went ok overall, but hoping that’s not an automatic ding. Student led interview for context.

"Data Scientist", Azure shop, 5y experience. Been stuck doing python dev/client team augmentation for the last 18 months (several clients).

So demotivated+disillusioned, does anyone in consulting actually do DS projects? - this is the same reason I left my last role, 6 months of interesting work and then endless dev work. Predictive models are dangled just out of reach to stop us quitting.

No longer feel qualified to apply for actual DS roles outside because I've not done any ML in so long.

So I got furloughed...with notice that I am 99% likely to be placed on a PIPwhen I return. They basically said by this point either you get it or you don't, and apparently I'm not getting it.

Enrolled in Stern for a few weeks.
The number of the alumni and current students that go to top consulting firms FT& summer intern are countless even for a small class size.
Stern is way more than a finance school. Given its location, do you want to spend your 2 years in a rural area or heart of Manhattan? Location is almost everything for business school. (I have a friend in Cornell that frequently travels about 5 hours to NYC for events.)
