Is it looked down upon / do you look like a poser if you wear school merch with the university logo instead of the grad program logo - like wearing an MIT hat if you go to Sloan? Dumb question, I know, just curious

Nah - wear your school colors with pride. Now, if you are getting something a little more 'workplace appropriate' like a fancy pen or padfolio - you may want to opt for the MBA branding when possible.

Anyone who would actually think twice about that is genuinely a loser.

No, especially when there are fewer school specific options to purchase.

I do think that for some schools the MBA name is perhaps a greater pride point or typical discussion point. Not to pose, but I might find it odd to see Wharton or Kellogg students in UPenn or Northwestern swag though.

As an MIT Sloan person, I think there is a bit of a stereotype when saying you’re MIT Sloan vs. MIT undergrad or science graduate program, but I don’t think anyone would call you a poser for wearing MIT apparel

For what it’s worth - I personally would rather have MIT Sloan apparel than regular MIT

Hi everyone!
I work at a big med tech company as product manager. I have multiple markets under my responsibility. I am turning 30 in few weeks and I hold an MBA.
Currently I am earning 73k gross yearly in Belgium. I feel that I settled for less than what this role could have given. What should I do? Is this a good average salary for product managers? I need to negotiate a raise but manager is greedy and difficult
Any advice is appreciated 👏
Thanks!!!
