Is it worth applying for an mba to the other m7 besides hsw if already at mbb? I recognise many from mbb don’t get into hsw but wondering if other m7 are worth it? Seems like the value add from a career point of view may be limited but keen to hear views

I avoid people from HSW

If you're already at that level, getting an MBA might not be wise. You could use that time to get better at your job and move up.

It’s really HS and then the next 8 or so programs. The most whole HSW thing makes people get the wrong impression. (Someone who didn’t go to either of these three schools)

If you didn’t go, why you sounding like you’re really knowledgeable about it? (Which you were clearly showed ignorance in)

What is your long term career goal?

Depends on level at the firm, where you want to go, and what firm. With tech and rapid rise of tech driven innovation and transformation, those degrees are less relevant. If you're in tech or diff industry, great way to make a change and pivot. I think Bus Week does a great summary on roi for the top 50 programs. My opinion is for networking and career change, it's great, everything else you will learn or can learn on the job or online

Any MBA’s main benefit is network. Of course any other top mba will still give you very similar benefits. You might just want to give a thought to where people mostly go to next (e.g Booth tends to be more banking focused, Kellogg more marketing etc)

New York folks:
Are you aware of the CPA exam credit extension to 2021 for NY CPA candidates impacted by COVID19? It’s on a person-by-person basis and you need to request the extension. Has anyone tried doing this yet? Can anyone shine more light on this? The extension would really help me, but I’m not sure what more to tell them in my email than the fact that I couldn’t sit for the exams this Spring/Summer due to test centers closing in NYC.
