And probably more of a MBA party break too

Just finished my program at northeastern. Was pretty easy honestly

funny

To those laughing: get over yourselves.

BU and BC are the best programs in Boston, both pretty comparable, more about fit and preference. Babson is really good, but no real name recognition. Umass is amazing value, but again network and name doesn’t offer much. I don’t know much about HBS executive programs, but extension doesn’t offer degrees for PT.

I’m not gonna lie the HBS name goes way farther (but no one cares if you did part time, full time, evenings, etc)

Harvard doesn’t have part time or evening MBA programs. They have 1 full time, 2 year MBA.
Everything else is exec education, PhD program, workshops etc. and yes people care which program.

Just got off the phone with a recruiter who asked me what year I graduated from my MBA program and college and effectively told me I was too old for the role. I do have the 1 year of experience they asked for in the job in question. It's just that I have all this other experience in things unrelated to the role or things I want to deemphasize in my next role. Is there anything I can do? I only list the last 8 years of experience (as it's most relevant) and don't have my graduation years listed.

I’m seriously contemplating taking a software development boot camp. For those who hire new software developers, does it make you stand out if you get your certificate from a university instead of a coding academy (like coding dojo or something)? I noticed the universities are a bit more expensive but is it worth the price to have a university on your resume or does it not really matter?

Hello! Looking at an opportunity with established startup in UK that's just been acquired by a large co. I'm US based and my salary is around $250k (NYC) -I've been asked my expectation without the startup giving me a range to work from (though I've asked). I'm not sure how to reply to them because I have a feeling that my requirement may be out of their range and while I don't want to undercut my value, I also don't want to be cut out of the process because it's an interesting co. Any advice?
