Really depends on what you’re trying to do, and whether there is another way to get it done (MBA tuition+2 years of forgone wages is quite a bit).

That being said, HBS lived up to the hype when I attended

What’s the goal post MBA?

@IBM - I got into a great role at Google pretty young (26 currently) and I think I’m just wondering what getting one would do for me. @McK there isn’t a specific goal in mind, except product management.

Hence the debate. There isn’t a real, good reason for me to get one, and ~$200k worth of upfront reasons why I shouldn’t. But I’m curious, I suppose

Hi there! I think a masters is useful if you'd like to switch or specialize in a different field. for example, move more into a business role vs. thw more technical side of things. I'd also say it's great for networking more than anything else. On a semi-related note, I'm currently interviewing for google and do you think you could help me with a salary range for a program manager role in people ops? I have no idea what expectations I should have or what I should say for compensation..

I think I’m doing great, but that depends on the day and who I work with (no other writers by the way).
