Hi All, My sister has done Computer Science engineering Bachelor degree and has 5 years of work experience in India. She is applying for MBA at https://www.kenan-flagler.unc.edu/programs/mba/full-time-mba/ and https://kelley.iu.edu/programs/full-time-mba/academics/majors-minors/marketing.html. Her overall goal is to get into Software Product management. Any suggestions if any of these MBA’s can open path in the desired space or if she is better of doing an MS in Comp engg. to further develop deeper Technology skills. Thanks

What are the best collaboration platforms?
Thinking about leaving my position at Red Ventures as a Software Engineer, for an internship at AWS with potential to be hired full time. Right now I’m making 75-90k a year at RV but from what I hear at Amazon Web Services I could be making double. But I worry about the burn out at FAANG companies. Opinions? I feel my salary is pretty low for what I do.
Anybody can refer me for Ansys?

Helpful for making the transition into a PM role and avoiding being typecast as a programmer. + if you go to an entrepreneurial school, EVERYONE will court you as a technical co-founder.
I’d argue given the exorbitant fees b school is only worth it if you’re shooting for top-5 (HBS, GSB, Wharton, Sloan, Kellogg) tho 🤷🏼♀️
Agree with IT Pro 1. Pointless to go to bschool to transition into PM. At a minimum, head to top 10 school. I attended the tier below M7 (e.g. Fuqua, Darden, Ross, Hass).
If you want to transition to upper management and you can get into an Ivy League or another top 10 program, it’s totally worth. However, you need to make sure that you want and have the demeanor to transition to management. If you want to continue coding or even be an architect, then business school probably isn’t worth it.
I’m doing it to move into product management. Don’t do it if you want to stay in development.
