Is going back for an MBA worth it when it feels like I'm in a dead end of my job? Somehow got wrapped into financial services compliance/internal audit jobs and I am trying to jump ship to manufacturing/consumer products internal audit jobs. I have experience in manufacturing/biotech but hiring managers are almost always questioning if I am prepared for a 'different industry' as most of my manager experience is in Financial Services.
