I am a 30 year old consultant (industry role would be Solutions Architect) making a base of $150k and a bonus of 20%. I live in Atlanta and am considering the Emory part time MBA for the following reason: When I apply to Director or Sr. Director roles in 8-10 years I want that MBA box check marked. I know Emory isn’t the best program but I think it’ll at least give me a competitive edge over not having one at all. Looking for thoughts- goal is exiting to a tech company like Google, Salesforce

Cost isn’t an issue

Have you tried applying without the MBA?

Skip the part-time MBA and go for the exec mba. It is more aligned with where you are in your career and the roles you will be going for.

I would also go for the best exec mba you can get...it's about the same cost as a mid tier MBA so why not go for the best one you can find.

Darden and Duke are in your area

I really struggle to see what an MBA would do for someone with your profile but you do you

I don’t think you would lose out every time though

See if you can get firm sponsorship. Where you go for MBA matter - leverage the firm network. We have deep connections to the ivys.

An MBA isn’t likely to be a differentator at your level of experience. Recommend an MBA for self fulfillment, not career progression. McK has ample opportunities to learn the MBA toolkit in a more robust and fast paced environment if you just want the skills.

Hi All,

Was just told to "grow our ESG/CSR" practice at a regional consulting firm, due to my recent grad certification in sustainable biz strategy. Wondering where I should focus us as a services industry for big impact: we have a large product innovation, digital engineering area, and know in the past we've had a lot of lip service to clients and only recorded ESG for their compliance.

Hoping to make a big difference and include CSR/Sust audits and projects beyond for our clients! Any tips?
