Naw, the MBA jobs are all about personal brand and networking. When you make the rules, they tend to benefit you.

Naw, the MBA jobs are all about personal brand and networking. When you make the rules, they tend to benefit you.
- doktrin 9y ago> MBA jobs are all about personal brand and networking No disagreement there. Just in my experience those jobs are either the first or second to go when things get tough - often because there's an MBA somewhere near the top who recognizes how replaceable all the rest are.
- exelius 9y agoYeah, but these jobs also often have contracts with severance packages. Executives (VP and above) are typically hired under fixed contracts that make it very expensive to get rid of them. You can demand these things if you have specialized knowledge, credentials, and relationships.
- doktrin 9y ago> Executives (VP and above) Aren't you being overly restrictive in scope here? Many executives are MBAs, but most MBAs are not executives.
- exelius 9y agoTrue; but stalling out in middle management is never the reason people get an MBA.
- doktrin 9y agoWaiting tables in Hollywood is never the reason people take up acting, and yet so it goes. Anecdotally, I know several full time top 10 grads who aren't exactly on the fast track to the c-suite, and I assume this is even more true for the broader pool of MBAs.
