Is an mba worth it for me?

I’m 27, make 125k at a credit rating agency, I’ve been getting finance job offers that pay around 150k. I went to a state undergrad school (think penn state, Rutgers), would an m7 mba really make a meaningful difference in my career if I want to do something in high finance?

I just joined a non-dream company as a 10+ years experience guy. My friend working in my dream company forwarded a job requirement from his internal postings.

King & Spalding Singapore - thoughts?

What you should do when dealing with a very toxic worker that keep on sending passive aggressive messages to you as well as in group chat and email.
Things like when you answer his question he respond: I know that
Or when he keeps on saying my change requests were just minor in group meeting but actually not.
And keep on saying how hard he works when he clearly wasn’t and already underperformed compared to an intern level.

How to not let this toxic co-worker not poison me any further?
