Before my MBA I made $80k a year. 2 years out I make $210k.I’d say I’m using it quite a bit.

MBB here.

I’m directly using very little content of my MBA, but plenty in ways of thinking critically and how to structure problems and communicate solutions.

I feel the same way. Generally can also provide more depth on most business topics from context of class discussions and case analysis exposure etc

Pretty much nothing lol. It’s good knowing certain techniques/ tools exist but that’s about it. Perhaps you could count teamwork, leadership, and problem solving skills but not a particular class. (Coming from H/S/W and high gpa here).

Now I expect a payment for my answer 😉

Wow, while the sample size is still limited, it seems the business world cares less about advanced business/management theories and practises, and more general problem solving and change management.

Yale SOM (no $) or Johnson with a full ride? Goal is consulting (not MBB or bust but MBB is the target) in New York City. Will have to take out nearly full tuition loan for Yale.

Could also reapply this fall and add Tuck and Kellogg to the mix but unsure if it’s worth the risk as this fall may be very competitive.

I graduated with my MBA in finance in 2020 and began working at a bank as a Management Trainee. 2 years later, I am an assistant to a financial advisor studying to become a financial advisor. However, I have to do this on MY time and not the bank's.
I am not in a Management position, I make as much as a teacher in a good district and I just don't feel my overall self worth at this job. Does anyone have any advice that can help this situation?
