Hello everyone,
I have a unique situation amidst of this pandemic.
I leveraged the pandemic and applied to schools and programs with GMAT score waiver.
To put unnecessary background stories and schools aside, I am left with a final decision to either enroll at Kellogg (PT) or UCLA-NUS Global EMBA program.
I have 9 years of experience started out as an engineer transitioned to project manager.
I've always wanted to live and work outside of United States specifically in APAC region and I feel getting an MBA degree would be beneficial over starting from fresh while risking my current job.
Here is a small profile and please let me know what you guys think.
Name: Mike Choi
Experience:
- 4 years at Samsung as an engineer
- 1 year at a Startup company
- 4 years at Verizon as a Manager/Senior project manager
Goal: Find a career in tech/strategy management in APAC region (preferably high tech FAANG or equivalent local companies).
Pro:
- Higher reputation
- Great alumni global presence
Con:
- Part time/evening program. Recruiting may be difficult but does it matter since I want to work outside of U.S. after the graduation?
Pro:
- Dual degrees from two prestigious programs, 15 months.
- Every quarter, 2 weeks of global program at Shanghai, Singapore, LA, India (This can be a con during this pandemic).
Con:
- EMBA is not strictly a career changer?
- Smaller class with almost zero extra-curricular involvement.
- Start date is undetermined until further notice (Scheduled to start in November of 2020 but may push out to May of 2021).

Speak with someone in career services. Explain your situation and goals and ask them how they think they can help you get there. All for tangible evidence, including perhaps an introduction to a recent alumni who had success along a similar / identical path.

They are both great programs. If you want to live and work in the APAC region, then NUS-UCLA is a better option. NUS is highly respected among employers in the area
