Part-Time MBA graduate - Next steps advice

Hi Monkeys,

I am looking for advice. I am graduating from a part-time MBA program (Villanova) in May, a few details:

  1. Company funded tuition, min one year commitment to stay
  2. Analytics concentration
  3. Family-oriented life stage (married, three kids)
  4. One more class to complete over the summer
  5. Philadelphia suburbs location

I am curious what advice you all have, ideas for next steps that I may not have thought of, and so on given the above.

thanks!

What do you mean "next steps"? Don't you have to just keep working at the firm that sponsored you? If your goal was to switch into something different then you are too late since MBA recruiting happens in the fall for the most part. And it sounds like you have limited options based your constraints...
