Is Tepper or Foster reasonable for someone focused in tech? Evaluating scholarships. I’m a current PM at a startup and want to leverage an MBA to get into a big tech firm. With long term goals of VC (I have an M&A background) They both seem strong for technical roles but would love to hear others thoughts. Plus Pittsburgh and Seattle would be reasonably affordable to live for two years.

They’re both huge feeders for tech. Foster because of geography and Tepper because of reputation. Recognize that Pittsburgh is far more affordable than Seattle though!

USC Bovard College reached out to me recruiting for their MS in HR. I never thought about going back to school post-undergrad, but the curriculum looks very relevant to my day-to-day client work, doesn’t require a GMAT, and it’s entirely online. Would it be a waste to pursue an opportunity like this just for the learning? Has anyone either gotten this degree or another MS in HR? Curious how you feel it’s benefited you in HR consulting
