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..

Hey Googlers, I’m going in for my GCP TAM second round on Monday and had a few QQs for you all:
1. For the RRK2 case study if there is a scenario for handling peak time workloads where the client did a lift & shift of a monolithic architecture, is the best suggestion to move them to micro services to enable serverless and auto scaling features?
2. I was told that they’ll give me 15 mins to prep after the case study is shared live, would you suggest I build a 1 pager or is that not required?Google
