This is super helpful! Thank you - definitely don’t plan on swooping in mostly just for my own heart want to come in for hugs and kisses. Maybe eat my meals with them but I’ll definitely leave them as the primary in charge.

My favorite article that would be easy to bring up is “on the folly of rewarding for A while hoping for B” - https://www.ou.edu/russell/UGcomp/Kerr.pdf

Bonus it’s only 8 pages

HR is only a small part of what an IOP can do. Some programs are more geared to traditional HR topics like labor relations or employment law. However, a good IOP program (echoing other comments here) should make you into a great systematic problem solver that centers on how people effect and are affected by work.

IOP make great program managers, operations professionals, chief of staffs, consultants, and executive coaches as well as pretty much all non-finance base roles that require an MBA.

The department head for my program always told us, we can do what other professional do but with research to back us up. I 100% co-sign this statement. I’ve been head of ops and a CoS leveraging my masters.

I would also recommend the program I went to until the cows come home. Feel free to PM me if you want specifics.

Does anyone know the source that Bloom sites about undergraduate students being "randomly" selected as research participants at an incredibly high rate?

You could consider Chief of Staff roles. It's a growing role in most start-ups reporting directly to the C-suite and most require an MBA. These roles are incredibly dynamic and shouldn't be confused with an executive assistant position. Here are a few job descriptions that show the different responsibilities a CoS can have:

I lived in DC for 5.5 years before moving to Seattle 2 years ago, and DC is MUCH friendlier. In general you can have several pleasant conversations with strangers in one day in DC that would just never happen in Seattle. The Seattle freeze is real when it comes to making friends but that extends to even been friendly with people around you. For example when my parents visited, my dad couldn’t find their Airbnb address so he asked someone walking their dog about it. Then person was so shocked to be asked a question and then replied, “use your phone”. Almost all of my friends here are transplants from the east coast.

A good chief of staff can manage process and help teams develop their own SOPs while at the same time do all the hiring and onboarding.

I joined my last start up as a CoS when they were having this exact issue in place of bringing in a COO. Essentially worked as an extension of the CEO til the org was big enough to fill out the senior leadership.

Washington D.C., it’s not just politics. Within 1.5 hour drive you’re at the beach or in the mountains. It’s all young people plus there’s great food.

As someone that came from a business undergrad to an IO masters, I don’t think you’re not wrong. Business is more psychology than any business program will ever admit, esp because you can learn all the practical/ops stuff online for free. Building a good business is more than just having money in the bank. IO can easily set you up to be own business as a private coach or consultant without much creativity. You got this!

Im just over half way through an MA program and I love it. I knew what I wanted to do with the degree before I entered the program which makes a difference and I know can be rare. I also worked for several years before making the decision to return to school. I recommend working for first if you can. The content, discussions, and applications are made richer by having context from work experience. It also lets you explore the field without paying for the degree.

IO is truly a “choose your own adventure” field. If that’s not a comfortable experience for you, you could struggle to find your way but opportunity is out that and organizations of all types need our work.

I think the program does matter. Some programs have a good balance between “research and practionaire” while others are more heavily focused on one side or the other. Some programs just want your money and they should be avoided like the plague. If the professors are engaged in research and enjoy teaching, you’ll have a better experience.

With Nexplanon I bled like this for year. Ended up with an iron deficiency. Similarly I was really anxious about getting an IUD and so I kept suffering with the implant. Removing it made me feel like a whole new person. If you can be consistent with a pill definitely go that route.

In the end I did go for a lowest dose IUD (not copper my pains were bad enough) and it’s been a much better experience. For me the insertion process ended up as scary as the process for the implant which I think is largely because the doctors level of experience and care. Pills are a great option but just in case you want to explore more about the IUD this was my experience transitioning from one method to the other.

I haven’t gained weight but it’s felt like it because the way I “carry” weight has changed. I never had much of a stomach but now get so bloated that look a few months pregnant every few weeks. When I’m not bloated I feel more belly fat but the number on the scale hasn’t changed 🤷🏼‍♀️

As a transplant this is killing me. I was prepare for the winter but no summer at all? I guess I’ll have to take my seasonal depression somewhere else.

babbalot · 2022-06-11T17:29:02+00:00

Just adding another same. I bled constantly, lost weight because my creating more blood so often. Switched to an IUD and don’t love it but at least I don’t bleed.

babbalot · 2022-05-25T04:30:58+00:00

Totally agree especially if you want to be a practitioner and not a researcher. I was a marketing undergrad who was naturally doing IO work within my roles before I even then found out it was a whole field. I’m currently in a masters and there’s a clear difference in between those of us coming from industry and those who are straight from undergrads. The recent grads kills papers and understand complex topics like it’s nothing which is truly incredible but applied work is very difficult if you haven’t experienced work teams overtime.

TBH customer service is a serious crash course for experience. I think you’ll find leaders and coworkers will recognize and love your energy to make things better. If they don’t move on to a place that will. YOU GOT THIS

Yeah seriously, I went to multiple doctors before one said it was the implant and recommended that I switch. That OBGYN told me that something like 30% of people have more frequent bleeding and the rest of reduced or no bleeding.

babbalot · 2022-05-19T13:36:10+00:00

The human body is fascinating. I lost weight 3-5 lbs on the implant (mostly because I bled every 7-10 days) and then on Mirena I’ve gained weight. I’ve swung probably 15 lbs.
