I'm assuming you work full-time, so I'm not sure how completing an MBA in a year is possible. Are you thinking about quitting your job, and going full-time?
Full time, I’m solely looking for online options, but don’t want something that drags out for years and years, so the 10 month tagline dragged me in. To your point though, that’s probably only for full time students
I don't know how they get that done in 10 months without it being either a total joke or an absurd work load. Realistically 18 months is as quickly as you could seriously do one while working full time, and 22 months (which is what most programs are) is the appropriate speed
Based on the 5 mins of reading I did, it looked like as few as 30 credit hours could complete their program. I don’t know how that matches on average, but it is substantially fewer than some of the others I’ve looked into.
It’s definitely not a top notch MBA. There are very few course prerequisites and the GPA requirement is 2.5 with a potential workaround for experience. It’s ranked in the low 200s out of 250ish online MBAs, but it is AACSB accredited, so that may not matter a ton.
It’s still an MBA, which may be a hurdle at some point, so I’d rather have the box checked. Most stats that I’ve read and most hiring managers/recruiters I’ve actually talked to have said that unless it’s a top 50 type program, it doesn’t make much difference as long as it has the proper accreditation.
It makes a difference if I haven't heard of the school. I'll know that it's a an MBA that was earned just to get it over with. There are other ones out there that cost a little more and take a little more time that'll get you what you're looking for.
If I’m reading their admissions correctly, I don’t think I even need it due to work experience. Would take it if I need to though.
You're going to pretty damn busy if doing it in only a year. My grad assistant job was a full-time job and I was only taking classes part time (2 classes per semester) and I didn't really have any semblance of a life outside of work and school.
Nah. Because there are plenty others with a name brand mba in this stack of resumes I really don't want to review in the first place. If it came down to it, all else being 100% equal, I'd go with the mba. But it's never 100% equal. The name of the companies you've worked for matters. The roles you've had at each stop matter. The value you've added in each role matters. That means more to me than an MBA. It's a check mark in some cases.
Yea after looking into it, it would definitely take longer than a year, probably twice as long, which was the whole draw of this one in the first place. Oh well.
I’m only really concerned about the check mark case. My work experience/accomplishments and undergrad degree are the drivers, and everything has progressed well so far, I just don’t want to miss an opportunity I was otherwise a fit for but where an MBA was a prereq. I have this short-term crisis every 6 months or so, I’ll probably be back in here with the same question, different school around the new year.
After looking into this one, I think I’m much more likely to do a “real” one than try to find some turbo program that would drive me insane.
22 months for an MBA is pretty reasonable since I assume that includes summer school. 22 months in the MBA program I went through would mean taking 2 classes apiece in the fall, spring, and summer semesters. I ended up having to spread it out over three years because summer school wasn't covered with my GA position.
My evening MBA program is 32 months which is 2 classes per semester for 8 semesters + 1 accelerated course and an international module. You also have several weekend leadership courses that are required to graduate.
Mine was all accelerated 7 week classes, so 2 classes per semester and then the last 10 months or so we had a capstone group project on top of that, so two classes at a time during that span
I've been working 12-15 hrs a day 7 days a week for what feels like a few months now. I I do not suggest approaching work the way I do.
Started my new role for a commercial mortgage firm and really happy so far. I'm the operational lead and will be sharing in the business development responsilbities. About to go on a road show to meet our clients in the next 60 days.
Mine was filled with the professors getting us to do jobs for their buddies in other industries that would cost them like $100K+ to pay a real company to do. As well as group projects.
Thinking about moving to DC to take my career to the next level. Anyone else live in the area and can speak to it?
As chronicled here, I started a new job about 3 months ago at a very large, multinational company. In my head, this was the dream leap I had always hoped for. In reality, it was a bad culture and professional fit from day 1 and I find my unhappiness growing by the day. I’m honestly not sure how much longer I can hold on. My wife wants me to hang out my shingle and open up a consultancy in my field. I have a decent amount of contacts, and there’s very little overhead for what I do, but I’m well aware of the horror stories. As a risk-averse person who has toed the company line and been a corporate soldier for his entire career, I’m so scared of failing. But I can’t keep doing what I’m doing, as it’s literally having a physical impact on me.
I did the same thing 4 months ago with the same result. I put in a 1 month notice at the beginning of the month and Friday is my last day. Being miserable at work is the absolute worst and something I had never experienced before. I'm going to school full time in the fall to wrap up my MBA and then start back in a new job afterward. Good luck in your search man
considering all you have said and done in the trump thred and travel thred . You are not endorseable . every one of you would cheat on your employer . why ? because I have watched you right here .
It’s awful. To say it’s a square peg, round hole fit would be an understatement. I literally have to give myself a pep talk to get out of the car every day.
I need a few minutes every day after I park but before I get out of the car. It's awful, just get out as soon as you can
Been there too. I left it after three months to make less but I didn’t care. I needed to get out before I snapped. Took a job that I knew would be temporary, but keep me happy and cover our living expenses while I looked to get my career back on track. It was a tough to swallow my pride and work a lower lever job, a job I used to supervise, but it was better than that office job I hated.
Fucking gross, man. Hope you're making buku money. I can't ever imagine working that much for any amount of time, for any amount of money. Protestant work ethic be damned.
