I’m considering getting a MBA online or weekend since my school isn’t in the top list. I also want to change my line of work to either marketing or strategy over cyber. Thoughts I should consider? Have 10 years experience and currently with one of the big 4s

Do a full time program at a top rated school if you want to switch. Online or part time isn't going to help you.

Thinking whether to stay in Consulting post MBA or pivot to PM. Will select schools accordingly. Any suggestions on schools (US) are also welcome.

I find consulting very interesting (and it also pays well), but I think I'll like product management at big tech too (plus relatively better wlb).

TIA!

I’m divorced & have 2 boys, 6 & 4 yo. Last week I took the 6 yo for a pedicure and he chose blue nail polish, well aware that he didn’t have to choose any at all. FFW to this week. It’s a “boys weekend” (kids w/dad). Their grandad is also in town, since Wed. Dad has called to ask to have the boys in the evenings (i have W &Th, always). I have said “ok, but only if you don’t say anything negative about the polish.” So… they haven’t seen them. This hurts.
