Solid background and thinking of a dual MBA/MS degree at H/S. Class of ‘19 — worth applying R2 or wait a year? Didn’t get in the H/S deferral program in 2019 and heard this year is quite competitive.

You’ll have a good chance at HS, but nothing is guaranteed, especially this year. I would wait until next year if I were you, usually MBB people apply so that they begin school at 3 YOE

You should try to have more than 1.5 years of work experience.

Understood, but want to leave room if I want to pursue another more STEM-focused degree later

I have worked in marketing for about 6-7 years. First few years were in social media management. My goal is to work at a big tech company.

I’ve heard mixed results about the ROI of earning an MBA. My near future goal is to move into a Marketing Director (or senior manager) role.

1) How much does Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. value MBAs in the hiring process?

2) Anyone currently working at the companies above with only a BBA?

Current situation: Marketing Manager, 90k, NYC.
