If you’re already in the field.. I think you could get it on anything. I have mine in business.. but I’ve been in the same field for 15 years.

I feel like the value of a Supply Chain Masters degree is still too early to assess. Large institutions just started offering some of these masters programs.

Might be better to get an MBA with supply chain courses

If you are interested in consulting, it’s a great way to differentiate. Especially if you do the degree full time one year at target schools.

I think it depends on the job and if you are motivated enough to go through with it.

If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?

PSA - We are headed into a self-imposed economic slow down. Now is not the time to lateral but if you do, I would make sure you are at a recession-proof practice or firm.

Latham did it in the 2008 and 2011 and it will happen again. If you are an associate or really anyone but a rainmaker, you are expendable.
