What's the best time to do an MBA (to have a good chance getting accepted for M7)?
I have a bachelor's and master's degree, have 1.5 years professional experience in internships (mostly consulting) and 1.5 years full time experience (PwC consulting). Just turned 26. So if I apply now I'd start with 27 and having a total of 4 years of professional experience.
Should I apply now to start an MBA in 2022 or wait an additional year?

Hi fishes i m completely new to salesforce
Wanted to apply for the salesfoce devoloper role
My current yoe with diferrent domain is 6 years
And my admin devolopment course is going on
What should i do?
Do certification or directly apply for the job

I’m frustrated as hell with my manager and my career advancement. What makes it worst is, she is a black woman as well. When I first got with the company I received a pay increase prior to what I was making at my old job. But I have over 6 years of experience in finance, agile (non cert but that’s another story), accounting and team building. This experience was all gained without me having my bachelors in Finance and Accounting (I have it now). The rest in the comments…

So I’m planning on leaving my position before school starts, but the application and interview process has been slow. At this point I’m afraid I won’t find a job until late July. Should I let my school now and let them post my job as an anticipated position? I’d hate for them to have to find someone last minute, but I also want to keep that school as a fall back just in case. Unfortunately, it’s a terrible position and there has not been a lot of interest in it in the past.

Hi all, I’m currently a solution architect with 1yoe and two bachelors degrees. I also hold two cloud certifications and make 60k a year.

Thanks!

What would you choose? MBB (Digital practice) or Amazon PMT?

Background: T15 MBA student, 7YoE as Mech engineer, long term goal is to climb ladder in Tech, married and have a 2year old

Situation: I have a MBB and Amazon PMT offer for summer internship that I need to choose. MBB comes with FT offer, Amazon PMT will most likely result in return offer. If I go with MBB, I plan to exit to big Tech in 2-3 years. Y1 TC for both will be quite similar (around 230k).

Thank you in advance!

How much do strategy directors make these days?

Is our industry as competitive as some say? I see a lot of people saying this and I work with a bunch of hacks (myself included). It felt like a little while ago agencies were begging to hire new talent, and most couldn’t find new people. Is it really that hard to get a job at an agency? Maybe I’m just out of touch being in this career for so long.
