Yep. We were told to put it on our resumes. Undergrad hire

Yes

Yup

What about for experienced hires?

Yup

Lol my SAT score is trash, I think it was 1760 out of 2400 😅 am I screwed? That was about 8 years ago.

Nope. Mine was average at best

Do you have a GMAT or GRE instead?

If it’s low, don’t put it on and just answer if asked (which you likely won’t be - since you’re a few years out of school).

No offense, just really curious - why does obtaining an MBA make you a more attractive applicant? For which roles is an MBA critical for? Especially if you went business school for your undergrad. Won’t the courses regurgitate the same ideas taught in undergrad? This question does not apply to tuition reimbursement opptys (I would take advantage) or for people who have studied any other field but business for undergrad

Hey!

I wanted to know if anyone had the same experience and what were your thoughts (pursue an MBA and leave your comfort zone and "good pay" or just stick with it). TIA!
