I think your thinking is quite structural, which is quite suitable for MBA. See inside for my suggestion.

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛In 2002,rlz7213 (Rachel), is facing a career decision of whether she should pursue an MBA degree in one of the 2 prestigious Canadian MBA programs, or accept a job offer of business development position with ananual salary of CND 25k.

To address the above issues, we have three alternatives:
· Alternatives 1: Accept the job offer
· Alternatives 2: Go to McGill for MBA
· Alternatives 3: Go to UBC for MBA

In order to justify which alternative to choose in order to achieve her career goal, the following criteria are adopted:
· Profitability: including current income and potentials
· Cash flow: the ability survive and finance the MBA study
· Return on investment:
· Risk: Opportunity cost of spend 2 years in school
· Competitive advantage
· Timing—Is it the right time to go back to school?

According to my analysis, our suggestion to the management( Rachel)is , IT IS TOTALLY UP TO YOU.



I am just kidding and try to use the frame work for tomorrow's exam; hope it can help you further structure your thinking, hehe. ( BTW, I am an MBA at IVEY, so you know what was my choice).

  • 工作学习 / 求学深造 / Job offer, Rotman, UBC, McGill, which to choose? It's so hard for me to make a decision. Welcome discussion and feel free to speak up your opinions. -rlz7213(Rachel); 2002-4-12 {1337} (#454153@0)
    本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛Job offer: junior level, training in different dept for total 2.5 years, then company is planning to put me into business development (kind of marketing job), starting salary 25K / year with benefit etc.. Big European freight forwarding company, stable business.

    MBA offer: UBC tuition $28k / 15month; Rotman $48k/22month; Mcgill $10k/2year.

    Pros and Cons:

    Job: Pros: stable income, no need to relocate, chances to transfer to other offices in the world, even in China

    Job: Cons: marketing is too hard for Chinese to succeed; I am not an agreesive person, personally think such a job is stressful

    MBA: Pros: reputable degree, chances to land a job in China with not bad pay; might start in a new field such as finance; 2 years to polish English and other skills

    MBA Cons: no guaranteed job after graduation, expensive tuition, have to relocate to another city (i am in Calgary); no background in finance (how to write a strong resume by then?!)

    I would love to hear advice from people in the same pool as me. It's an old topic but it may change our whole life. Thank you.

    To satisfy people's curiosity about my background, briefing as follows:
    Undergraduate: Renmin Univ
    Major: Trade & Economics
    8 years in international trade (Chinese and foreign companies)

    No background in finance, female更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

    • 如果你没有北美工作经验的话(不知道你以前的工作地点在哪里), 还是先工作1-2年, 哪怕1年, 然后可以再去读MBA, 如果那是你的发展方向的话 -dropoutinmiami(东北的饺子); 2002-4-12 (#454166@0)

    • Married or yet? ---- Teasing. Not a clear picture about the job offered. Personally believe anyway MBA is somthing luxuary which helps one stepping ahead further. You cannot secure a position by simply claiming -patpat(乃胡侃而已); 2002-4-12 {184} (#454176@0)
      Hey I'm MBA. That's why I would accept the job if being put in your foot. All in all, depends on your plan in next 5 years. Looks to me you're also considering to return China soon?
    • IF the job is also in Toronto, part-time at York would be a choice... -8100(8100); 2002-4-12 (#454190@0)

    • Even today, MBA is too much in china, after two years, it definitly can't get even a job offer. Take the job for sure. -yong(yang); 2002-4-13 (#455345@0)
    • I think we have similar situation. I am currently working in a software company(55k), and I've been working in Canada for two years. Now I want to make a change to my life. -rudy2000(臭鱼烂虾); 2002-5-7 {370} (#507893@0)
      I am now in a GMAT class preparing the exam. I expect I can get admission letters next year, and I will go for MBA definitely. But the most important of all is to pick a reputable B-shool to take the education. Otherwise it's not worthy to give up the current job for a crappy MBA. Right?

      By the way, I am from Renmin University too. Information shool.

      Good luck.
