Can EMBA help push reset button on career?

[tismooth]

1) Can an EMBA serve as a platform to help someone push the reset button on his career?
2) How can this be shown in the best light to an admissions officer?


For example if someone has been working in a technical IT role for 10 years but would like to make a transition into a financial services role (i.e research, asset management, private wealth etc)can an exec mba help make this kind of transition? Any expert advice and experiences that can be shared on this?

With time ticking I will be 33 this year and contemplating if it would be worth going the MBA route.

Thanks!

Hello tismooth,

Thanks for your question.

In the mbaMission school selection presentation, we go as far as to say that career changers typically should not apply to executive programs. I know you are older than the typical full-time MBA applicant, but that is a better platform in which to "push the resent button" on your career.

I hope this helps.

Best,
Brian
