So MBA application season is beginning again, so here's a reminder to please reach out to schools' appointed student speakers/ambassadors as your first point of contact instead of reaching out to randoms on LinkedIn.

Student speakers/ambassadors span all identities, backgrounds, and interests, and are voluntarily making themselves available for coffee chats, not randoms you find on LinkedIn. 🫩

How does everyone feel about the online SHRM learning for SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP for Certification?
Do you skip around? Do you follow the path? Where does one start?

Does an MBA (US) make sense for me? Male, Indian, Age 32, Married working in tech consulting with 10 YOE. Base is $165 with steady increases and bonus is typically 15%. I eventually do want to cross the $300K threshold but I know stopping work for 2 years and getting and MBA probably won’t get me a $300K job right away. Becoming a manger in my current company/path will probably get me there in terms of TC. Also considering EMBA from a good school (Wharton Global, Duke, Kellogg, Booth).

Hi Fishies, i have experience working on Oracle Peoplesoft as well as Oracle Cloud.

What can I do outside the office to boost my resume and be a substantially more attractive candidate for top consulting firms in ~12 months time.

What's your one regret from your time in the MBA program?

Newish to data analytics. Have some experience in power BI, sql, and R. I wanted to get some exposure to aws and saw the AWS cloud practitioner as an available course at my job. Is this cert worth it? Or should I try one of the more advanced ones ? The data analytics one for example but wasn’t sure if it would be difficult to get through as a beginner. Will it look good on my resume?

Recently obtained my aPHR and I’m considering next steps in advancing my career. I am eligible to sit for the SHRM-CP presently and will not be able to sit for a PHR until 09/2023. Any pros/cons with either certification? Should I wait to sit for PHR or go for SHRM-CP now?
