How did you justify the cost of your EMBA? Really trying to come to terms with the idea of spending ~200k with the hope that the EMBA will help accelerate my progression in leadership.

Try to eliminate uncertainty/hope from the equation by: seeing compensation at next levels of leadership you want and what payback period of $200k will be if you got raise/promotion, talk to your company execs and asking if EMBA will help position you for leadership or if it doesn’t matter to them, see if current company provides tuition reimbursement even if it’s a little amount, see what you want to learn/develop (eg negotiation skills) and see what EMBA courses will help you get those skills, check the quality of your network and if you need access to more execs/investors/cross industry/etc…and if EMBA will get you that access, and finally talk to as many people as you need to get clarity - friends, bosses, alumni, forums, etc..

Does the company value your previous tenure at Google, or do they treat you like any external candidate who never worked at Google before?

Hello all, I’m planning for a career switch. As I’m currently in Finance sector and planning to quit my job and to start my career in IT Hardware companies like: HP, Dell and Lenovo etc.. Before taking this jump I want to know how is the career growth in IT Hardware, how is the promotion structure in such companies. I personally don’t like my present job as it doesn’t relate any part of my interest.

currently tossing up between staying at a global company (who is in the process of some positive changes) with an amazing manager who supports my career and flexible working … however comes with the inherit issues that come with a long standing global company

compared with a role at a smaller mga, higher salary (around 30%) more , more visibility career wise and some great employee benefits , management seem to be supportive and low staff turnover
