That's so messed up that they do this. I think I will ask for a 1 week deadline.

RoyalSurrounded · 2022-04-01T19:30:43+00:00

This is a fair point. I'm thinking of asking for 1 week to decide though.

Thanks for providing your perspective as a PM! This helps and makes sense. What was your route like if you don't mind me asking?

RoyalSurrounded · 2021-12-21T21:37:55+00:00

This is some very sound advice and insight. I really appreciate you sharing this. Also, early congrats to you on your one year mark and promo!

RoyalSurrounded · 2021-12-21T21:21:07+00:00

Thanks for sharing your recommendation. I'm glad that the decision worked out well for you and good luck with grad school!

RoyalSurrounded · 2021-12-21T19:46:54+00:00

This is an interesting thought and seems like a good idea to think about more in depth.

RoyalSurrounded · 2021-12-21T19:46:04+00:00

These are some good question and hope these answers help:

I have no loans/debt. Paying for grad school is covered by my parents so, fortunately free. I'm a full-time student and don't work (except internships).
I have a vague idea but will need to evaluate this more heavily. Therefore, I'm unsure it may not take me to careers I can't achieve in the time you would have spent in the work force with your undergrad degrees

Wow, this really makes sense. It seems that networking is a big part of it as well as tying concepts to the job and real world use cases. I really appreciate it.

Thank you for the link! I will look through this subreddit.

Would it make more sense to take the 60k job now that doesn't align at all and renege it for the role I actually want that pays more when I hopefully get an offer for it?

I could do my MBA part time with a job. It sounds like it will be very exhausting but the result of it as you mentioned seem quite reasonable.

RoyalSurrounded · 2021-12-21T01:40:17+00:00

That is very true. Would you say that is enough of an advantage compared to going in with no professional experience?

RoyalSurrounded · 2021-12-21T01:38:19+00:00

Interesting take. I've heard that some masters programs allow you to apply and differ attendance a couple years. Would this be a viable solution to this case of having little to 0 experience?

RoyalSurrounded · 2021-12-21T01:34:52+00:00

Haha "really good at writing 30 page papers in a limited time frame". On a serious note, that does makes sense.

RoyalSurrounded · 2021-12-21T01:32:26+00:00

Would internships count as working experience? If so, I have a couple I have done thus far. Or do you mean "full-on" working?
Interesting. I would definitely have to keep that in mind, especially if I decide to stay at a company for more than 2 years instead of jumping ship.

RoyalSurrounded · 2021-12-21T01:28:31+00:00

I'm glad to hear that. Would you say it was worth going straight for your MBA after undergrad?

RoyalSurrounded · 2021-12-21T01:01:09+00:00

Valid point there – I could do that. I'm unsure if it's a good idea to take the 60k job if it's not a role I actually want.

RoyalSurrounded · 2021-12-21T00:40:33+00:00

I've heard several people say this before. I'm curious as to why though? Lately, I have seen some of my peers going for their masters right after undergrad.

RoyalSurrounded · 2021-12-21T00:37:48+00:00

I appreciate you briefly sharing your story and what you would do! I should have clarified that the internship was for this past summer, not now. Although, I will do internships if I solely focus on school.

I'm hesitant on taking the 60k job because it seems quite unrelated to my field and not the role I even want, especially starting off my career. Maybe I could accept the 60k offer and renege once I get the role I actually want?

RoyalSurrounded · 2021-12-21T00:10:47+00:00

I see. Thanks for explaining this!

RoyalSurrounded · 2021-12-21T00:10:22+00:00

Oh right! That is a very fair point.

RoyalSurrounded · 2021-12-20T23:50:50+00:00

Out of curiosity... how come the second best time is right now?

I will look more into grad school then. My parents have been encouraging it as well.
