Just got an offer from McK for Associate position. Told my dad and now he says he’s not paying for my MBA since I landed this without it. Can’t believe he’s doing this. Sure, he paid for my UPenn undergrad, but MBA isn’t that much more 🙄

Man, everyone too salty to see satire for what it is 😢

Sad!

This post was complete satire. Let’s debrief like good consultants.

Five lessons learned:
1) To anyone who’s actually this spoiled but would never say something like this publicly, this thread is what the world actually thinks of you.
2) In our world where real news now reads like The Onion, I’m 0% surprised that so many ppl took this post seriously.
3) People seem proud that they’ve made it without being bankrolled. So is pity more than rage the appropriate response to a spoiled brat?
4) Who knew Americans and Brits were still so salty with each other?
5) You know you’re not from east coast or wealth when you have to Google sailboats to come up with a fake rejoinder to an accusation of owning a yacht.

Lolllllll. Most of my (top 10 MBA) friends paid for most/all of their own MBA unless they were sponsored. Many American parents - even the rich ones - think grad school is your responsibility.

I definitely wouldn’t bankroll my own kids if I had the money, as they should only be going if they perceive positive ROI.

Agree. Same- my parents paid for most of my under grad, I paid for my MBA. And my daughters will have same scenario. But- find a company who will co-pay your MBA with educational reimbursement program. That’s what I did.

I tied my payment to their grades if they chose not to put in effort than I was done. One sailed through the other we paid one semester then peace out until they decided they really wanted it in their late twenties.

I’m an SE who works 2 AE’s, and from looking at the market am on the bottom end of the pay scale. The company I work for has many different products/services (80+), so they wanted SEs to take on a local “SME” role in a specific area, to support other members of the team.

This role has ramped up quite a bit recently, and people have been coming to me for help with their deals (overviews, demos, POCs) which is increasing my workload.

How would you approach asking for more money here? Thanks!
