How has having an MBA or other Graduate degree helped your career?

[iceberg_is_on_fire]

My MBA is the glass ceiling breaker / door opener of my career. My career trajectory pretty much demands it for senior leadership. You have to have a plan for it. Just having one doesn't matter. Also, where I've gotten my MBA from never mattered. My experience and my references are fire. I put my education on the bottom of the resume. That's not what sells me now. Leadership of teams, meeting deadlines, leading software changes and such is how I'm packaged. Education is the cherry on top in my cases for me.

Here's a free MBA program I just came across:
Quantic School of Business and Technology | The Modern MBA

If it's basically free, when not just add it to your arsenal.

I can’t speak for myself But a girl I graduated with worked one year at the White House, went back to SJU for her MBA ( in Marketing) and is now working as a VP in marketing for some startup named money lion.

So the MBA got her the job or working at the White House?

people need to stop saying this. i work for a fortune 10 company and they encourage employees to get graduate degrees from online schools such as strayer if possible, and these are for 6 figure salary positions.

don't pay an arm and a leg for shyt when you don't have to, and dont let people discourage you from furthering your education on some elitist shyt, like you're just wasting your time if you don't go to a prestigious school.

Very true, if you have the work experience, corporations just want you to have a degree, for bragging rights essentially. They really don't care about from where, when you reach a certain level in career. It's literally a check list.

The mba got her the job she was recruited at a fin tech conference actually hosted by SJU and another fin tech company called broadridge (not sure I’m spelling it correctly). That’s how she got the job.

If anyone trying to go part-time, just be aware you still gotta put mad hours in. They running me through the ringer this semester.

I had to take yesterday off to finish a project and I'm still not done.

To sum it up it helps to go to big brands or schools seen as exclusive
