Hi All, My sister has done Computer Science engineering Bachelor degree and has 5 years of work experience in India. She is applying for MBA at https://www.kenan-flagler.unc.edu/programs/mba/full-time-mba/ and https://kelley.iu.edu/programs/full-time-mba/academics/majors-minors/marketing.html. Her overall goal is to get into Software Product management. Any suggestions if any of these MBA’s can open path in the desired space or if she is better of doing an MS in Comp engg. to further develop deeper Technology skills. Thanks

Similar background. Strong no from me. It's not an academic requirement for a job you're applying for (unlike say a physician or an account). The vast majority of people who put MBA on their CV haven't got them from a top school anyway.
No you aren’t wrong. Adding behind your name is something I really only see with people who went to mediocre or crappy schools
Guilty. Not crappy but overseas. Hey, it might attract a few folks 🤷🏾♂️
Exactly. No point in putting an MBA behind your name. Even from optics point of view it doesn’t look right. And even if you have an MBA from a top (M7) business school, just leave it in your qualification section. No need to put behind your name as anyone who wants to hire you will read your complete profile. 🙏
It’s a line on my resume and I went to a top school. I did have it on LinkedIn after my name. But I removed it years ago.
Depends on what you are trying to project / tell the market. If you are looking for a job where your skills are vanilla/ common, MBA can be a differentiator and worth highlighting. If you have expertise and relevant brands on your resume, putting MBA next to your name might not be worth it. It boils down to what is your appeal and differentiator for the purpose of your resume or LinkedIn profile.
I put MBA next to my name on my resume when I am banking on my transferable skills for a job search. But not for lateral or upward jump positions.
people that list PhD or MBA or list their certifications or call themselves “Dr” when they have a PhD are usually overall mediocre people that have a chip on their shoulder.
MD, OD, DD are the only true Dr’s
“Honorable” is an earned title by becoming a judge or an elected official, something extremely difficult to do in most cases.
All other titles are pretty stupid in American society.
After your name? No. 10 years ago, definitely no. There are other ways to make that show in searches. Anyone who cares, will do a search that filters by that degree, not in your name.
Don't know. I always think it looks like people are upselling themselves as LinkedIn is sort of more personal or something. But she's probably right - if you don't have it in you name and/or tag line, then someone has to go looking to see it in your profile.
Don’t
