I'm a product owner in a product based company. I am a graduate and don't have an MBA. Recently when I was looking for a switch to a product manager role, some said that it is difficult for me to get opportunities since I don't have an MBA since companies prefer MBAs mostly for their product management roles. Is this true ? How good are my chances to progress with an MBA ?

Just told my bosses that I’m quitting to go to bschool. It feels so great so be taking the plunge. Sending good vibes to all applicants and many thanks to all the helpful 🐠 on this bowl :)

I have been in insurance sales for 7 years. Not something was ever thinking I would do. I have a bachelors and masters in general psychology. My masters was more research based in hopes I would go back for my PhD one day. I decided to just go back for my MBA with a concentration in Business Analytics. How can I break out of the insurance sales role and into something else with insurance if all my experience has been sales. Should I just wait until I am done with my degree and then search after?

Does an MBA make sense if you are already at 18lpa with 3 yoe.? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Feel like my team is getting suspicious of my taking so many days off with short notice. For those not telling your firm about MBA yet, how are you handling the interview process?

Hey everyone,I graduated from university in summer 2021 and then moved to a more sales job. I am now going to start a masters degree in strategic marketing and would like to move to product marketing / branding / digital marketing? How can I make this move?

Can I ask for at least similar salary (base salary + bonuses) than my current job? When I look at some of the marketing salaries, it seems extremely low and would hope that my experience/masters would be considered.

Thank you!

Happy to join. Although our degrees and credentials come on white paper, there is a culture we bring to the schools as people of color...WE PAY THE PRICE!!!
