in what world is a PMP even remotely similar to a T50 FT or PT MBA?

with < 2 YoE you need killer experience to get into a top business school. no offense, but that doesn’t sound like you. i would give it a couple more years. when you understand what i mean, then you should apply.

i have a PMP. while it may be a prerequisite for some job roles in govt, i can promise you that nobody actually thinks you are more qualified for having it. it’s not hard to get. nobody will pay a PMP project manager more than a non PMP project manager in the same role. whereas with the MBA, they often will.

90K is about right for 2yoe in consulting. You’ll make a lot more with an MBA.. north of 160K first year total comp

I’ll add that the MBA should be from a T15 at least

My worry is that EC/VC firms are crazy busy work differently from general corp, I also won’t have control over my hours, and potentially worse based on how billing differs (block billing on a few clients vs having to work with 15 or more startups). Is the same true for tech trans or IP group?

This is twice now in back to back weeks my boss has asked me where the disconnect was in our communications because I didn’t deliver on what “was asked”, even though I know damn well what was asked and what was done were the same thing. I’m not sure if he’s changing the meaning or isn’t communicating what he’s envisioning or what but it’s embarrassing to be called out like that, and to have people think you’re the dumb 23 year old.
