Job market is awful. I got my MBA from a low ranked state school 5 years ago. I got my GMAT score up to 740. How crazy would it be to get another MBA from an M7?

I don't think it'll matter as much as it'll cost. You could be spending that time you'd spend getting an entirely new degree actually applying, working on your skills, and eventually gaining real world experience. I don't think places care about how your school is ranked as much as you think they might. The job market just sucks.

Make sure to calculate the ROÍ in this market environment and chances of you can land there. In most cases is not worth it.

I don’t think it makes sense to expense out another MBA when you already have one. If you are financially able to obtain another go for a master degree in finance. The finance degree from a better institution will compliment your MBA and not cancel it out.

I could name 50 people from McMinsey and m7 mbas that have been unemployed for a year. Stepping out of the workforce right now, I think is also a bad idea. 2 years from now, AI tools will have embedded entirely into workflows. The actual job functions are changing entirely. You don't want to get caught behind on that.

MBA from top 7 is totally worth it if you can afford it. It opens doors a second or third tier MBA program cannot. Go for it!

Why were you still taking the gmat with an mba?

Don’t do that. If there’s a graduate certificate program at the higher ranked MBA school that could further your career, that would make sense. But, 2 MBAs will look silly. Just my humble opinion.

The job market is awful. Find contract work if you need to and build your resume that way. That’s what I did and it helped me to get into top consulting firms and open other doors.

I would not get a 2nd MBA.

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?
