I am looking for some perspectives. I’m in a technical consulting role and would like to end up as a VP or CTO one day. My plan is to go for an online MBA while working full time (6 figures hard to give up) then pivot afterwards to managing a devs or product management. I am looking at USC and some other less prominent schools on the west coast since I am located in the PST time zone.

I do not want to relocate as my partner has a job here. Any thoughts or things you would also consider?

Would really recommend you re-evaluate full time. Six figures is nothing compared to a full time M7 network
