MBA Programs — Which are the best if the post-MBA goal is to do high caliber tech investing / entrepreneurial route? Are Harvard / Stanford / Wharton the only options? How would you decide between those 3 (or any others you might add)?

If you can get into any of those 3 then you're gonna be okay for where to want to end up. Stanford is probs the best for tech and VC, Harvard is Harvard, and Wharton is still strong but the weakest of the 3 unless you want to go PE side of tech investing

I’d add Carnegie Mellon to that list if you’re leaning towards tech entrepreneurship. I know there are others but I’m blanking. Maybe Michigan but that’s probably a little more of a stretch unless you come from a high tech background already

I got my MBA last year at Lamar University and regret getting it cos I’m yet to have a decent job paying above $17/hr. If anyone here is hiring or know of a referral for a Business Analyst/Data Analyst or BI developer. I can even do internship/apprenticeship. Thanks!

Washington foster - solid name in tech

I would add Sloan for tech entrepreneurship especially if working with hardware

My scores are still valid for atleast 1 year. Aiming for M7 or Oxbridge in Europe. Would using this GRE score be realistic for the school given I've just 1 YOE and my quant was lower.

I have worked in marketing for about 6-7 years. First few years were in social media management. My goal is to work at a big tech company.

I’ve heard mixed results about the ROI of earning an MBA. My near future goal is to move into a Marketing Director (or senior manager) role.

1) How much does Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. value MBAs in the hiring process?

2) Anyone currently working at the companies above with only a BBA?

Current situation: Marketing Manager, 90k, NYC.

I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)
