I'm a corporate lawyer working in big law and interested in pivoting into a business role in the sustainability industry (ideally at a high growth start up). Would getting an MBA or a Masters in Environment help me make this transition or can I do it without?

What kind of role?

It’s best to know exactly where you want to end up after your mba…or more times than not, you risk finding out that you didn’t need to spend the time and money for it at all

I think an MBA would indeed help you. You’re trying to pivot both industry and function. That tends to be quite difficult to do without an MBA

My creative marketing agency, Codeword, is hiring account people! Senior Account Managers, an Account Director, and Account Managers. We work with tech clients like Google, Linktree, Qualcomm, and others. The agency has about 80 employees, but is owned by a much bigger parent company so the benefits are great! Most of the roles are based in NYC but we also have offices in San Francisco and Salt Lake City.

Message me if you have any questions and I can possibly refer you!
