I will receive my MBA in 2020, and I will have 2.5 years under my belt in marketing: A little about me before we continue: Double major in marketing/sports management 1 year in back end marketing Currently working in a media agency. (will have 15 months at the agency when I recieve my masters) I know once I get my MBA, I'll be able to ask for a pay increase. However, I want to take on a larger role in a company, and move into management as my next move. Will it be ill-advised to start looking for a management job if my current employer won't move me up the ranks right away, or should I wait to gain more experience?
Hate to burst you bubble kid. But your MBA isn’t worth that much. Put your head down and grind like the rest of us did. 15 months is enough tenure to make a jump to get a comp bump and manager title. But don’t get confused. Managers are still IC roles. HR will probably offer top of comp band because you have an MBA, but the bands are narrow. You’ll do fine but don’t expect to magically make Director. You’ll still need another 4-5 years until you’re ready
How did you get into an MBA program with basically 0 work experience?
Or just 2.5 years if you’re in a full-time program. I was thinking evening program at first.
I have been going through the MBA program while I was an undergrad last year. My school allows us to take 10 units of graduate level courses if you are a senior and in good standing academically.
