LBS man. It’s two years and a traditional MBA experience. The other two don’t compare

If you want to stay in UK, Oxford. LBS is great but it’s 2 years of expense and opportunity cost for the same relative UK placements. LBS does have better US recruiting tho, but at that point, you might as well go to a U.S. school.

like

Is it really the same placements though, really? Plus you’re living in Oxford… rather than London

As someone who did Oxford undergrad, but INSEAD MBA, I would say LBS (assuming it is the MBA you want. Only LBS and INSEAD are internationally competitive European MBA programs. Having said that, being an ‘Oxford Man’ does have benefits but anyone that actually knows about MBAs will know it is not Oxford’s best programme.

i 2nd the “oxford man” thing. This year’s US News rankings really showed just how powerful a school’s parent brand can be. Although Oxford tanked in FT rankings, we gotta remember that Oxford’s MBA is an anomaly because it’s a social impact school - students go there to pursue nobler goals than IB or consulting so salaries are lower (highest weighted score for FT rankings) - which drags them down. But oxford is still Oxford.

Stanford name is bigger than both of those globally in my opinion. What’s your background ? If you want to learn , mba is useless

Oxford is amazing but it’s mba program is new , thus not as big yet. Their mba program is the weakest program out of the entire university . I was picking Oxford but was recommended to go to insead instead

Is there a general expectation that a Partner has an MBA?

I doubt it's required at most firms but I'm a pretty senior staff and when I speak with Partners, they seem to speak with an MBA level of business knowledge which extends past their technical skillset.

I realize that's what makes them good Partners but it makes me wonder if I realistically need to get an MBA to keep growing and hit Partner.

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM.

Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.

Just venting:::

I told her that we can continue if there are similar job opportunities open which there is another position but it has "ALSO" been filled as of today. I was just so irritated. I feel like it was just a waste of my time if I decided to going forward.
