I wish I knew :) . I only can tell you from my experience that the MBA program is not a surefire way to improve your salary - maybe the top MBA programs ARE surefire, but they're also really expensive and hard to get into.

If you can get a company to fund your MBA, that would be great.

Also, I don't know where you live, but I think that anywhere in the world (including NYC and SF), 300k is an unbelievably large amount of money. You might be losing perspective if you think it's not.

Hi GFischer,

Thanks for the comment. I work for a ad-tech startup. You won't believe amount of money flowing through the systems. I know a lot of people, including women, who make more than 300k with 12 to 15 yrs of experience. The reason I am skeptical of AmaGooG is career growth prospects. Amazon recruiters have reached out to me at least 5 times now but I am keeping them on edge of seat. Getting at companies is not that hard. It's the career growth that I am worried about. 300k with no career growth and 300k with more career growth makes a ton of difference.

FB is good but beside ads they don't have any stream of revenue, for now. Its a risky job in my opinion.
