Is a distance-MBA Learning Program worth anything? I have 3+ YOE and I would like to go for an MBA but I'm evaluating if I need to plunk down so much money and two years of my 20's. Distance MBA programs offer so much convenience but is it going to be worthwhile and useful in the industry?
What are your thoughts or advices?

Don't do a distance MBA. Not worth your money. A lot of companies will not consider it as an MBA.

Try a 1 year executive full time course. Better ROI. If you want to do it before you hit 5 YOE, ISB is wonderful. There may be better ones as well. Else you can do a 1 year full time after 5 YOE at the top IIMs.

Given you're at postman, the answer depends on the % of your promised stocks that you've received so far. Even so, mba is more of a social degree so not much of a point doing that unless your company sponsors that. Wait for a while and go to isb or inshallah Insead h/s/w.

Hello everyone! I am a Judicial Law Clerk, which I have been for a little over two years now. However, I’m planning on moving into the AML/Compliance realm. I have a background in finance, having been a Finance Disbursing Officer in the Army for 6 years with one deployment in that role. Additionally, I am currently a JAG attorney and studying for my CAMS, hoping to take that exam in the next month or two. Any advice or referrals for anyone I can talk to learn more about the field? Thanks! :)

What are your thoughts on the Scrum Master role? I’ve worked with a few now and out of 5 of them, only 1 seemed to be of any help.

I feel that the role should be reserved for employees with experience in the systems they work in.

Hi all!
Would love some insight on how you went from an HR assistant/coordinator to an HR Generalist. I’ve been in the HR world for 8 years, and only in the last 2-3 have I really done real HR work.

I have looked into getting SHRM certification. But should I go back to school and get my masters in Hr?
