I was looking at GSAP and it said it generally does not help practitioners get a 2nd Masters. Is this true?

I have an MA and an MSc, but I would like to get an MBA to be a better asset for this kind of work. Any advice?

What are good compelling arguments that help when voicing why I want an MBA? - even when you have a post graduate degree

like

I didn’t even mention anything about “I have x post grad degree but I also need an MBA”. It was all just why MBA. Tbh every business case I’ve seen has the same exact stuff - MBAs provide you with a stronger network, further exposure to your industry of interest, improved business acumen that you can apply to your client engagements as you progress further in leadership roles in Deloitte, etc. Also the most “competitive” part of GSAP isn’t even this whole why mba thing. It’s your year end ratings. After you make the eligibility cut for having the required YE ratings like 80+% of people who do the presentation get GSAP.

I have a masters in engineering and got into GSAP for an MBA. The guidelines say “generally” so there are exceptions. An MBA is a different type of degree that will impact your career trajectory in a different way so that’s your justification.

You already have 2 masters. If you don’t have a strong network, a third isn’t going to help.

I don’t have 2 masters I only have one… and the network/brand stamp you get from an mba from Harvard is totally different from what you get from a technical masters degree from a much lower ranked school.

I believe it changed this past year that it’s nearly impossible. 3 years ago when I went for GSAP it was allowed. But heard the loophole is much smaller now.

I'm accepting an offer with a new company... Start in early Aug. Senior Manager role, though in this company that equates to Manager at most consulting farms. They did not had hunt me. I came to them for the job.

I have COVID delayed vacations planned for the last week in August and the first week in October.

Should I just cancel one of them? Or should I at least put both on the table and see what they say? They're going to hire me either way, but I wonder if it's a bad start to ask for both.
