Hi there - Has anyone enrolled in graduate programs through Harvard Extension School? One area of focus for my current work is corporate sustainability, so have been looking at getting my master's online through this program: https://extension.harvard.edu/academics/programs/sustainability-graduate-program/. Since it's job-related, Google will pay for part of it.
But curious of the value / impact of Harvard's online degree programs and would love some first-hand insights. Thanks y'all.

Hi everyone! In this field, when choosing a masters degree program is it more beneficial to get a degree in Human Resources to further my knowledge in HR (my undergraduate degree is in Economics) , an MBA, or Data Science Degree due to the fact that HR is becoming more data driven as well as get a PHR / SHRM-CP certification?

I regret not applying to Harvard. I never thought I’d get into a top school and then got into wharton with a 100k fellowship - which changed my entire perspective. It sucks thinking “what if…”. I just didn’t have the confidence and thought wharton was a reach so why bother with H/S 🙃 hope this inspires someone to just shoot their shot - you never know

Candid thoughts on the Ogilvy LA office?

15 YOE, recently started my first tech PR job at a large, stable company & have been asked to get ~20 SMEs in front of media. Subject matter is not sexy. I lead PR for all of U.S. & have no other PR colleagues. My agency’s budget is 100k/year & they’re spread too thin to hit their KPIs. I feel set up to fail & feel we should be focusing on a handful of SMEs and only our sexiest topics. Any advice on mitigating unrealistic expectations for coverage? Anyone handled similar problems in the past?

Has anyone done a collab with influencer MIKIRAI? I know she’s a big deal but i’m trying to figure out if she’s worth the money, our agency just had a bad experience with an influencer and the client is not happy. We need to make a comeback! All insights are appreciated.

Anyone have advice for advancing in your current role?

Any advice would be appreciated!
