Reply to comment by hyemae in Finding a job vs Master's Degree by Chinalover33

When I say get some experience I mean like 2-3 years, and then head school. What kind of roles were you interested in that required a Master's or MBA?

Most PM roles in Google needs Masters from the JD. And I couldn’t pass the screening stage without the Master despite having 10 years of experience. I only started to get call back after I had my Master.

However, my partner who is newly graduated with Master’s without experience, got the call back and went through interview right after graduation with Google.

So I think it’s important to have the paper qualification based on my own experiences.

I was at Amazon for 5+ years, advanced degrees were nice to have but experience was a sufficient replacement, for technical roles at least.
