Hello Gang, I’m on the business side for Walmart right now. Walmart Global Tech recently offered me a role to move to the San Bruno office, but I’d be taking a demotion from L6 to E5. YOE: 8, COMP(200k base, 25% bonus, 100k RSU). Is this competitive in the bay? I have Doordash and Instacart in the pipeline, but no final offers yet.
Will CSPO help in Product Manager role?

You literally say that hiring freezes are impacting you, not the competitiveness of your profile. That being said, start studying for the GMAT and apply around and see where you can get in and what kind of aid you’ll get. Then make a decision
I will certainly take your advice and keep researching before I make a decision. Thanks!🙂
You should go for it, and you are not too old. I didn't start consulting until age 35, coming in as consultant!
I'm an M now and doing well for myself.
Hey thanks for this! You sparked my motivation a little more! Glad to see someone with a similar situation find success. Keep up the hustle!
I would do it. It’s a free degree.
Top 5-10 MBA is VERY different than a top 30. Either way I think it'll be worth it, but there's a huge difference.
I am thinking of going for my MBA via voc rehab. I think it will help!
Get after it! 😎 Maybe now is the time to take advantage of building our competitive profiles.
Kellogg has a great contingent of former officers in the FT program and current Navy officers in the PT program. Would highly recommend getting your mba and pivoting on the GI dime. Best of luck!
Hey thanks! I actually keep hearing good things about Kellogg. Maybe I will look more into that program before making a decision.

DM me. Was you at 29. 36 now
Yes, absolutely pull the trigger. I came from industry and did my MBA at 35, then pivoted into Consulting after working for a couple of tech firms.
Free and obvious advice (worth what you paid 😁) - get into the best program you can. The network you will build and name recognition you will get is worth more than the education. The network will continue to open doors / get you intro meetings long after the education has been forgotten. And as we all know in the business world, aside from technical/quant/data roles, everything else is largely bs. Knowing the right people and just getting stuff done will pay dividends. Good luck and thanks for your service!
Hey thanks for the insight and perspective! I love hearing success stories from people who were in a similar situation. I’ll be sure to apply to other schools and try to get into the best one I can!
Absolutely if it’s paid for, the Return on Investment will highly likely be positive at some point in your life.
