Hello everyone. I was recently presented with an opportunity from my company, but it interferes with my educational plans. If at all possible, can I get some advice?
I was recently offered a leadership position within my company, but I would have to reloacte from San Francisco to Portland. My salary would be around $80,000 which is a 35% bump in pay. I have a bachelors degree and I am 24. My issue is this, I fear I may be pigeon-holing myself into one industry and one skillset which would make future advancements in my career difficult. Because I was living in SanFrancisco, I was planning on applying to Hass or Wharton (they have an SF location) and doing an evening/weekend MBA option. But now that I was offered this position with a good pay increase I am looking at either Kelley, Cornell-Queens, or Duke's cross-continent. I would get the on-the-job experience and the MBA.
So overall what is better, no promotion and getting a degree from Wharton or Hass. Or moving with a great promotion and going to Kelley or Duke? Considering the economy and I am being handed a promotion I am leaning towards moving and getting an online degree or a hybrid program like Cornell-Queens or Duke. Also will an online program be looked down upon by recruiters or other companies in the future?
Your thoughts??
