My company offers a $50k annual credit for graduate degrees and I am thinking of using it up for a Masters degree. My question: do you guys know of excellent part-time (online) programs I should consider? I am a PM but I am not intrested in an MBA. Possible fields of study: tech mgmt, innovation, ai for business (đ§),... tech/ cs that doesnât require me to code. I know it will be a busy two years but I am excited by the challenge and learning new stuff. Side question: for those who have done their graduate ed part-time, any lessons learned? YoE: 15 TC: 450
Woah, which company is this if you don't mind?
Pivotal But I know many consulting companies pay for MBAs that cost $200K for 20 months (EY, PwC)
Would you keep paying out of pocket for the program next year assuming the VMware acquisition closes? VMware doesnât offer a benefit like that for existing employees (https://benefits.vmware.com). Now maybe theyâd make an exceptions for you but Iâd be nervous.
So you want to do non-technical? I think Stanford might have a program? I'd check the Ivys
đ yes I did CS undergrad
YoE?
Before you study âInnovationâ as a degree, find out what the past graduates ended up innovating.
Good point. Whatâs a better track that you have seen successful past graduates come out of?
If you want to be taken more seriously as a tech manager, you should get more tech courses under ur belt. Hard skills last a lifetime, whereas management degrees sans the networking it opens does not.

Holy crap thatâs a lot! I know we only give 10k a year. You can try some engineering/system management degree. UCLA has one.
