[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to a top MBA ten years ago- I have been working on so many areas from operations, business development and strategy (was Director and VP).  I want to focus on one area (hopefully family friendly).  I wonder if any other MBAs moved towards other areas while still not losing all of the years of experience.   I'd love to work in an area that let's say we moved to timbukto I can still find work- not just large firms.  I'm open to additional classes/certification.. hoping it doesn't mean another 2 FT years for another Masters.  Thanks for all constructive feedback.[/quote]

A few things.  Family friendly jobs can come from family-friendly companies or specific divisions in whatever company.
Your background seems quite diverse functionally so I'd hope you could pitch yourself for several different roles.  Have various resumes ready to go. 
Do you have a specific function (biz dev, ops, fin, marketing, M&A, etc.) that you enjoy and have some experience? Go for that one. 
I don't think add'l training or "certifications" matter - you need to find a position or be networking and then pitch yourself with a customized resume, background, shpeal. Especially if in timbuktu - prob then matters who you know and fit/match. 
In general, it is easier to change either industry or function, but not both.  Most companies will not totally marginalize your experience if it's not 100% relevant. Networking and being positive and value-add when meeting people goes a long way. [/quote]
