No to MBA, yes to CPA (etc. certifications) and PhD. I've overheard management from several places dislike "MBA" in signatures. Also serious LOL @Deloitte1 (yes caps are necessary)

If you worked hard for it then why not

Only acceptable ones are CPA JD MD and maybe PhD. Put whatever you want on your LinkedIn to get hits but if it's on your business card I'm judging you

I meant exam wise....

Yeah putting MBA on there is pretty douchey

When would be the right time for me to get an MBA given my background?

I was a teacher for 4 years and transitioned into the corporate world. I have 6 months experience in marketing and that’s what I currently do, but plan for a lateral move in the future. I’ve seen suggestions of 3-7 years experience - does my teaching experience factor in? Or should I consider the 3-7 years only of my corporate time? Or is an MBA sooner a good move because of my big career transition (and future lateral)?

If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?

How do you all deal with time management - and specifically time estimate - problems?

I always underestimate how long things will take, both because we ADHD’ers view time differently and because I don’t build in time for getting distracted.

I work with a partner who asks me by when I can get something done rather than giving a deadline. I appreciate the flexibility but I always short sell myself and end up pulling all-nighters to meet my self-imposed unrealistic deadlines.
