Which top consulting firms, if any, will pay for your MBA?

I'm about to start my part-time MBA. Already feel like dropping out...

I’ve been in the industry for 23+ years, 16+ of those spent as a Producing Branch Manager. I hold S7, S63, S66, S24 and I’ve completed the education for the CFP (need to pass the exam). I excel in relationship building and providing exceptional service. I’ve only been on the full-service side for the past 2 years and my book of managed money is about $10M, with another $10M+ being self-directed by clients. I’d love to find an RIA job, what type of role would be suggested?

Hiring managers and recruiters: a lot of well-respected schools (Harvard, BC, Cornell, Penn State, MIT) now have pretty robust online programs. Contd

Is it worth it to go back to school for a better track to a FAANG company? The division I’m currently in seems like there are no good opportunities, and I have the funds available to finish my undergraduate full time (Canada). I applied to Amazon before for a highly senior position and made it to final interview so I think I would have a better chance for a new grad type role.

Interested to hear thoughts on this: 5+ YOE in FS consulting as an SC at tier 3 firm. Interviewing at Deloitte for an SC position. I have a good reputation and setup at my firm and am on a great track to make Manager in 1-2 years. However, no one has heard of my firm and am really interested in a M7 MBA before I'm 30 (so enroll in 2-3 years). What is more valuable for an MBA: making manager at a no name firm or the "prestige" of having Deloitte on my resume?

I graduated college 2 years ago and started working on RIA in FL as a Research Analyst. During this period I got my series 65 and brought to the company two clients (total assets of $3M). This being said, I am not very happy with my compensation. I know I am just starting my career, and that I need patience. I will like to get other people insight on how can I grow and earn more $$
Should I get a Masters in Finance?
Should I start looking for a job in a BD instead if RIA?

Hi, I'm looking for advice on what the best CRM platform is that has the best marketing capabilities but also integrates with Zendesk. We currently use Zoho, but it is seemingly impossible to design it the way we want our CRM/operations/marketing to work together and all the different apps is so confusing. TYIA!

For those who work in Agencies, how do you accurately identify the work capacity of your Account Management team? I’m currently comparing against account billable/number of accounts, however, there are still discrepancies. I layer on time tracking, but smaller billable accounts will sometimes be just as demanding as larger billable accounts which create profitability issues.
