Not sure it you were getting at this question OP - but also interested to know if anybody knows what post MBA roles exist in places like crowdstrike and PA Networks? Is it similar to other tech companies?

Thanks mate. I’m looking to do an mba in a year or so and primarily targeting tech but more than open to big cyber firms too

Depends what you want to do. If you want to be a pen tester - no. TPgM or strategy for a cyber focused company - for sure.

If in an executive role then yes; it is valuable. In every other role….. not much at all

It adds no value to your application in the recruitment process. On the other side, you will benefit significantly if you get a Masters in an area of Cyber instead.

Any kind folks willing to give some advice? Trying to figure out short and long term post MBA goals for my application. I’m currently in strat/ops consulting, work in fintech/payments. I really ultimately want to do fintech VC as my long term goal, but don’t have startup or IB experience. What’s a realistic short-term goal for my story? IB? Fintech startup like a Stripe? Or corporate dev/M&A at a larger FS company? I’m honestly open to all of these, but don’t want to seem unfocused in my app.

Hi everyone,
I passed my PMP thanks to this sub group.
I have passed Above Target in the People section, and T in the other sections.
It was 95% situational questions.
Thave used AR's mock exams, and used my wrong answers to figure out my weakness and where I truly stand. I didn't purchase AR's course, just the mock exam simulator.
The 200 agile questions by David McLachlan were amazing, it really helped me in adapting to an agile mindset. TIA simulator n Joseph Phillip is useful.

I have a preliminary credential in social sciences with supplementals in bio and math, it expires in July and I have already had the allowed 1 extension. Teaching is my second career (I am a retired pediatric nurse) and barring an open position at a school where I am a preferred sub there doesn’t appear to be much hope. I am currently enrolled in a masters in history program and looking to jump to museum work or perhaps teaching at a local college. Any advice would be appreciated!
