Very torn between prepping and applying to MBA or FAANG jobs. I currently am at 4.5 YOE, 150K base, engineering manager. My network has advised that an MBA can help pivot careers as I’m exploring content strategy (Netflix). If any fish here are available to chat, please lmk! I have seen threads here about the value of the MBA going down so looking for advice! Thank you.

Hi everyone! Just looking for some insight. I’m about 4 years into HR, have my bachelors. I’ve been toying around with the idea of getting my masters in something relating to compliance/labor law and that side of HR. Shrm certification is also on my list. If anyone has some advice on what to get a masters in specifically, I’d be open to suggestions! I’m trying to find something that would be worth my while and would give me a step up. Thanks!

Incoming MBA, I have my tuition paid for and rent covered (I will be an RA). So the only thing I need to pay for is food and entertainment. Do you think 20k is enough to last me through the 2 years? I will make a little money interning in the summer, so that would be a safety valve if I blow through the 20k.

Or… should I take a small loan?

25m. Consulting for 3 years. I got into a top 10 mba program for the fall, so normally a no brainer. With covid I’m not sure. Is there any benefit to an mba if it’s all online? Firm isn’t paying (and haven’t told them - I’m at a boutique so I’d have to quit) and no indication it’s it’s online or not. Very anxious about having to decide. What are others thinking?

Hi! I know I’m being underpaid at my current job but due to Covid and being unemployed I need a job. I’m currently looking but having no luck with the salaries being offered. Feeling stuck. I have my MBA and over 10 years of Marketing experience. I need some help shifting my search. Any advice or recommendations are welcomed.

I’ve been working at my company for almost 2 years and I am barely even making the 65K base pay. I receive praise after praise for my hard work and positive reviews but that’s not enough. We didn’t get a cost of living increase and now I’m making less money than last year. I need to ask for a promotion but I’ve never done that before.

Currently making 70k with 12% annual bonus as Senior Business Solutions Consultant (we implement technical business solutions).

Do you think it’s a bad time to job search? I’m currently in a role I actually enjoy with pretty good work/life balance and management that seems to like me, but the pay from what I can tell is well below market for talent, and the company is cutting costs so much that I don’t see them fixing the gap or giving us good bonuses or anything anytime soon (F500 level company by revenue for ref). That said, I’d hate to leave for more money only to get worked to death or laid off.

So... I have questions for change/org effectiveness practitioners who have successfully leveraged their experiences to acquire high paying, high level roles in industry. How did you do it? What was your path? What would you recommend to others so they can make the most of their careers? I’ve included my reasoning for this Q, below!
