I am working as senior associate in PWC AC blr and I have 7+ years total experience. I have joined PWC 1.6 years ago. I would like pursue masters near future. If I get college admission should I serve notice period in PWC or will let me go with few days prior intimation. Has anyone faced this situation, appreciate quick response. PwC @

If I worked for an employer who would pay 100 percent I might consider going back. But I'm always skeptical, I don't think anything I learn in a classroom would be all that helpful in my career. Except of course that people believe it's helpful, so in that sense it's helpful.
Thanks for your feedback!
That is a tough question. If it was 5 years ago or so for me, I absolutely would have gone back to school if it was 100% paid for. But I’m not so sure now. I believe education is a great thing and you pretty much have to have some kind of degree to get into most jobs, but I’m not sure I would make the commitment right now, even if it was paid for.
Wow 5 years! Thats a while!
The only reason I went back to school and got my Master's is because the company I worked for at the time paid for 100% of it. If they were paying for it then I would have been stupid not to do it haha. Plus I like school so I really did not mind going back and learning more.
Very nice! Congrats on your masters!
As a person who depended on the school of hard knocks to pay the bills, I can tell you that, if offered the option to have school paid for, I would definitely go back and gain a degree. It is the first filter we all go through when searching for work. I would be surprised if I learned any thing new, but the access a degree gives you is huge.
Thank you for your input!
I think it depends on your current education and career path. If you don’t have a bachelor’s, then my answer is yes. If you’ve got a bachelor’s and you’re going to stay in the SCM/Logistics world, then I think professional society certifications are more valuable. If you’re looking to shift career paths (and have a bachelor’s), then a master’s in that field would help.
Personally, I had a master’s degree, but no experience in SCM and couldn’t get a SCM role until I got an APICS certification (luckily I got my company to pick up the tab for that—maybe you can too).
Yes, I think it would depend on your current education and path as that would have a big effect.
