Hi Folks,
Hope you are doing well, I need valuable suggestion on few of my queries.
I had joined KPMG(KGS) on April 2022, during the interview i have been told that i would be working on Java Backend Development as my background belongs to same technology and my interview was also happened on Java/Spring/Microservices; but they put me on Low-Code / No code Platform and its totally tool based work. I am frustrated with the current work as i didnt find anything productive to learn.Continued in com KPMG @

I definitely agree with the comment above. There is no way to know that getting that degree is going to lead to getting into management. Definitely network and seeing if you can shadow are a better way to get your foot in the door.
I would say getting a postgrad qualification would be the most expensive way into management with no gurantee of actually getting management.
I would say look for oppurtunities to shadow management. This can be through departmental schemes or simply sending a few emails to line managers.
This will serve a dual purpose of exposing you to management responsibilities and networking with managers so they can keep you in mind when a post comes up.

I would take a class here and there while you are working. It will help your resume even if you are still attending while applying.
Nothing beats experience. I would inform a few trusted people where you work and get their advice. If it were me I would maybe look into more leadership roles in my current position for my resume.
It’s not about what you know it’s about who you know. Tap into your network.
My masters was pretty much free. I went full-time and applied to be part of a work-study type program where I had to dedicate maybe 20 hours/week to special projects. They provided me a stipend and free tuition in exchange. I believe this was only available to full-time students but it was a great way to get my degree on the cheap and get practical work experience. I’m sure there are lots of similar programs out there - mine was a state school. If you can pause your career and go full-time to a program like that, do it. Every job I’ve applied to at my level seems to want someone with an advanced degree. If you need to continue to work, see about one of those yearlong programs that will get you your degree faster…hopefully your employer will cover some of the expense.
Check out the backgrounds as people get promoted. If they all have post-graduate degrees, I would think that is valued. If they all have 20 years of experience, that is what they value.
