I’m 27 and im at a juncture in my career. I’ve been in a job for eight months and plan to stay two years. After the two years is up I’ll choose to either go back to school for a MBA in Marketing (the industry im working in) or I’ll go work for another company. Are Marketing MBA’s worth it? I project my next job will pay $100-150k. Current $85k, and I let them lowball me because I liked the company. Would it make more sense to get a new job and just ride the market?

By riding the market I mean keeping my assets in the S&P 500 and settling for a non-MBA required job until my employer pays for me to go.

My firm has a collections budget (80% of your billable rate x 1850 hours) and an hourly budget that must be met in order to be eligible for a bonus. The firm cares very little about originations and will reward someone for making their collections over someone who brings in new work. I missed my collection budget due to some odd timing with a client, but originated more than all my peers so no bonus for me. I’ve been at this same mid level firm for 9 years and it’s all I know. Is this normal??
