Is anyone going to b-school in the hopes of getting into product/product marketing? Situated in NY so likely going to apply here but too scared of moving out of the state if there are a better school out there... also being pretty insecure since I have a 3.0 gpa and 5 YOE at a non-product field (not taking gmat until later this year..)

Has anyone thought of doing of a masters in CS instead of a MBA to break into product management?

I have a few questions for people in consulting roles (both external/internal).

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!

So... what's a good med school to track into a strong trauma residency? My second dad talks about Presbyterian in NYC as awesome.. but am trying to get an understanding of options to help degap her own research.

What matters?

Thanks a bunch!
