Thoughts on 1 year vs 2 year programs? Can you get the same out of a 1 year program without as big of a time investment (ie 2 year)?

If you are planning to switch from consulting to finance/tech, I would prioritize 2y programs

smart

If you’re trying to pivot, I would recommend a 2 year MBA to give you more time and to do an internship to achieve that. If you just want an MBA for advancement, then I would go for a 1 year MBA or a part time MBA program

Just noticed you’re at Bain. Do NOT do a part time MBA while at Bain. I believe they have rules saying you can’t do a part time MBA (if not explicit, at least implicit) while employed at Bain. They don’t want your time taken up by other endeavors. You could lose your job if they find out you’re doing an MBA on the side

it depends if you are targeting EU or NA post-graduation, if EU INSEAD should provide the same outcome as a 2 year program

Good distinction, I’m US based and plan to stay in the US, so I’d only consider US universities

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?
