So I’ve been with FAANG for 5 years (I’m 30 y/o). I’m pretty comfortable with my situation. Got average grades at a good undergrad university, total comp ~300k. I’m debating Ivy League MBA. I don’t think it’ll benefit me at FAANG, but I’d like to start a company eventually. Worth it?

Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.

I'm trying to get into a SaaS or tech company for MOps/RevOps/SOps, but I think I'm having trouble getting interviews because I'm coming from a 7-year career in the public sector (fundraising).

The work I do is very similar and I feel my resume reflects that, the main difference is my tech stack. I've started certifications for tools like Hubspot, Marketo, and Salesforce - and am wrapping up an MBA - wondering if anyone has any other advice on how to score an interview? TIA!

I don’t know how many people are in the European market who can help me but here we go. As someone who recently finished an internship at a Big 4 company in Germany, I realized that every strat role requires or strongly recommends a masters degree (as I have a cs undergrad). So here’s my situation: would it be better to do a masters in management at a top school in Europe, or accept an offer from EYP for a full time role. I don’t want my lack of masters degree to come up negatively in the future
