I should I pursue a MBA after my computer engineering bachelor’s? Would MBA be more beneficial to me vs MS Computer Science? Looking at career growth and salary

Don’t do an MBA straight away. Should have at least 3 years of work experience, preferably a bit more or you will have too little to draw upon in class.

This isn't necessarily true. It really depends on what your career goals are.

Are you looking to get into finance?

No, but I was thinking it would help if I wanted to be a software manager or project manager

It's not really that helpful. I agree with SM1. Maybe after 3-4yoe, you can pursue your MBA. It might even help you with your promotion/salary increase.

If you practice collections in-house, what do you earn and do you receive a bonus?

I have practiced for five years and make $121k as an employee of a financial services company. As the only attorney, I oversee all statewide collections efforts, from demand letter to garnishment, with a case volume of nearly 7k new cases per year, of which the majority I end up litigating. I receive only a $1k bonus per year. Is my compensation fair? My last insurance defense gig was $75k.

Hi all- My SO is currently at a Big4 & was initially preparing for S&O roles at GCP but given the high number of ex MBB consultants hired, they believe its just more competition to get the offer & to eventually get promoted over time.

Instead, they have decided to pursue program manager or cloud consultant roles, which they feel might have a lower barrier to entry from an assessment standpoint. Not sure if the bowl agrees but would like to get your thoughts, thanks!

He lashed out, involved HR saying he doesn’t understand why, and now my review points out stuff that I would have let slide.
