I started with a For= tune =20 100 company in the HR department to get my foot in the door, but knew right= =20 away that I didn't like my position. A few of the alliances I built in the = =20 company said they would request a tranfer to their department on my behalf,= =20 but it had to be cleared with my supervisor first. =20 =09=09 =09=09Well, she told me that for the position I wanted I would have to go = through=20 move than five salary ranges (even though it would have been a lateral=20 transfer,) and she asked me "what rush was I in?" since it took her over 1= 2=20 years to move through the ranks. When I told her I was on a five-year plan= =20 and not a 12-year plan, she told me she simply would not approve my=20 transfer. =20 =09=09 =09=09Well, I was released from that company and it was the best thing that= ever=20 happened to me.

I have read in some resources that the second degree isn= 't=20 always very beneficial. Any opinions on whether the second degree is=20 worthwhile in this situation? Thanks!=20 =09=09 =09=09[IMAGE] =09=09 =09=09From: IKABOGA =09=09To: TINA1110 =09=09 =09=09I think you are heading in a right direction.... For career advanceme= nt they=20 always look at your education. I have just graduated this past summer with= =20 MBA in Finance and MIS (E-commerce), but the jobs I have been interviewing = =20 are way beyond my expectation, i.e this past week, I interviewed with a=20 company in the Southwest for Chief Technology Officer/VP. I strongly =20 believe, because I had an MBA. =20 =09=09 =09=09The direction you are going you definitely need a postgraduate degree= . I=20 know foreign services and international agencies very well -- those are th= e=20 circles I grew in.... They normally pay you more for graduate degree in UN= =20 agencies, in the World Bank/IMF where I know many people.... They do not= =20 even look at your resume without a second degree or PHD. So I wonder why= =20 would someone tell you that it does not always help. Stick to your instinc= t,=20 you will do well. And good luck with your plans.
