What do hiring managers care about more MBAs or experience…both is not an acceptable answer.

If the hiring manager themselves don’t have a Master’s degree, chances are higher that they do not believe in an MBA. They may only put heavy focus on experience, regardless of an MBA degree. Just my two cents!

If you got more than 5-7 years of experience I don't even care or look at your education if it's older than that. Granted got a hiring manager but I do plenty of hiring interviews and give verdict ya/nay and what level

Depends on the mba

The better question is, does it? And yes, it does.

I have a top 5 MBA and favor experience over the degree when I’m hiring - but also depends on the role and the context. Like someone said, did they work 2 years and get a respectable MBA with great grades or do they have 4 years of experience and a decent MBA…

Depends on the role and company culture...

That said, usually the experience gets you the job. The education gets you the pay.

Many compensation and rewards packages are contingent on buckets of experience and education. The degree automatically moves you into a higher bracket. Experience may not.

Depends, unless you are going into specific business, you are limiting your income by going from undergrad to MBA without experience in between

Hi, ladies. How long has it taken you to find a new job?

I’m currently on the hunt for a new job and I’m feeling really utterly defeated. Over the past year I’ve probably applied to at least 100 jobs and I’ve been on 8 different interviews all with no offer. I’m not sure if I’m doing anything wrong or if there is more being done behind the scenes that have nothing to do with me. Either way, I’m getting frustrated and my productivity in my current position is slacking as a result.
