Trying to understand if a top MBA is right for me. 2 yrs A at D, going into 1 yr at Apple. Very happy with my comp, and personally I don’t see a barriers to go up the corporate ladder. The big interest for MBA is to finally go to a target school and “go to school for the first time”. To meet the likeminded cohort who will all do something cool eventually and build my network with that demographic.

Seems like it was a good thing tho

MBA is really to help change your career. You can build network many ways (most are cheaper than a M7 MBA), starting from your current workplace.

Getting an MBA is quite expensive, even if you get scholarships. I would worry that you would be paying a lot and giving up a lot of earnings for an experience that may be some of what you're hoping for, but may not be in other ways. It's a pretty major decision to make when you are otherwise completely satisfied in your career. And based on what you're hoping to get out of the experience, I wouldn't do a part time/evening/ weekend program. The experience is not the same as full time and your classmates are usually not the same caliber. I would wait until you have a more compelling reason to go, or find a different way to scratch that itch.

Thank you!

If you’re happy at Apple and see no barriers to the ladder, you could go part time. Not sure what your role is at Apple but it’s a very Desired company for MBA’s and most wont be getting there. So I’d be hesitant to leave and only go full time if you’re looking to continue in your job function in tech.

D1 I have a 740 that expires in 2 years. I will absolutely keep that in mind, thank you.

SPHR exam- has anyone ever been “randomly selected” for an application audit? This just happened to me and the sheer amount of effort that is going to go into collecting all the documents almost makes me not want to follow through. Since I didn’t finish undergrad, they’re asking for a copy of my high school diploma or transcript and that itself is going to be an absolute nightmare to get hold of. Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.

1. Think: what would “a better career” look like? Write it down.

2. Believe you deserve it. Believe it’s yours before you have it.

3. Take action:

- Suggest improvements at work
