Thinking strongly about reneging on my M7 offer as I’m uncertain about economy and wife wants to have kids (we’re 30). I haven’t told my firm I’m attending - would you try to use the offer to secure a raise or not say anything?

Why do you want an MBA and how are you financing it? The value prop of a FT MBA is declining

like

Rates are high rn but 80k is not that much in loans you can pay that off within 6 years.

You can expect at least 130k base from an LDP. But think long term not just immediate comp, once you graduate from an LDP after 2-3 years you’ll get some kind of P&L role that’s at least 170k base.

Your risk aversion is going to limit your career and comp progression.

I’m at T10 rn with much more in loans. I’ve been telling people a FTMBA (save for HBS/GSB) is not worth it if you’re paying full price. But if you have a significant scholarship (which you do), sponsorship or GI Bill the calculus changes

MBA will increase your salary on average, but that relative increase is declining. In my opinion it’s only worth getting an MBA if you think you need it to advance or transition in your career. Easy example is breaking into investment banking or moving up to VP in PE/VC.

If that’s not the case for you, an MBA will probably help but the cost is likely not outweighed by the benefits

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!

McKinsey & Company Does level and/or office matter for referrals at McKinsey & Company? A friend is willing to refer at the Associate level in my target office though I did not get any traction w/ the referral last year. I'm a Veteran so I also recognize there may be a resume translation issue despite the prior version getting me interviews with BCG and Bain. I have updated the resume since - though still wondering if there's anything else I can do to strengthen my case. Thank you in advance for any advice.

Heading to an M7 soon from a tech company where I work in a product-adjacent position. I didn’t need this degree to “break into” product management (former company would have let me transition), but I still figured it could be good for the long run.
Now when thinking about 100K in loans, I feel anxious about not getting a PM role after. Was this the right move?

When would be the right time for me to get an MBA given my background?

I was a teacher for 4 years and transitioned into the corporate world. I have 6 months experience in marketing and that’s what I currently do, but plan for a lateral move in the future. I’ve seen suggestions of 3-7 years experience - does my teaching experience factor in? Or should I consider the 3-7 years only of my corporate time? Or is an MBA sooner a good move because of my big career transition (and future lateral)?
