Hi! Just joined this bowl. Im hoping to get insights from an investment professional on how investment firms view an MBA vs MS degree. Im aiming to work as a Macro or Policy analyst at a firm and fear an MBA might not give me the policy exposure I’m looking for. Im eyeing a MS program that covers international relations and business and wondering if this kind of an interdisciplinary program would be attractive to firms. Or do I just bite the bullet and do a traditional MBA?

72k + 7% bonus + WFH permanently

Or

90k hybrid 2-3 days in the office. (20min drive now however I am moving an 1.5 hours away)

They both have their benefits and company match.

The 90k is also a new team so a lot of growth opportunity while the 72k is well established team. If this matters at all.

Hey Friends! Looking for advice!

My wife is a Chartered Accountant with 7+ years of experience as credit manager, underwriting loans with some leading banks in India. She just got her EAD and is looking for jobs, open to switch profiles as well. Do you think she would fit in for any role here in Seattle, WA? She has been a star performer and promoted twice in the last 3 years. One problem is companies look for US experience which she does not have, we just moved here early this year.

Folks, I’m desperate, hope somebody here can help. I need to pay Russian VAT; I have been trying for a year.
