No such thing as an M3 or an M1

Outside of a handful of very niche jobs, recruiters looking at your LinkedIn don’t care about its caliber and have no way of knowing whether you were in a weekend, part-time or online MBA program. An MBA is an MBA. It checks a box.

The PP said MBA, not law degree.
That said, PP may be telling the truth about the niece, but just doesn't understand why his/her niece is making $500k in the executive role. It is not likely due to a non-elite MBA. There were likely other factors involved - knowing the right people or maybe even just working hard in her field and performing well.
The niece could also be lying about her income.

In any case, not a status symbol.

The US economy is much broader than Wall Street banks and consulting scam artists. Our niece is 29 years old and was a state school sorority girl —> even lower tier commuter university MBA right after college —> makes over $500,000 a year in some executive role in the Midwest. Nobody cares where the MBA is from, just that you have it. Added bonus if you’re attractive and have a personality.
Lol ok cool I don't think anyone will ever consider your sorority girl niece "elite". And I'm suuuuure she makes $500k as a 29 year old. Sure, sure.
kinda funny that pp doesn't even know for sure what she does " in some executive role" in the Midwest.
It's not genuine because unemployed nuts and gs feds on DCUM didn't get enough breadcrumbs to track down and dox the niece on LinkedIn. $500K at 29 with seven years of professional experience is hardly that uncommon, especially if bonuses and stock options were involved. The last 10 years were the biggest economic boom... ever? Those in disbelief are just outing themselves as clueless SAHMs and public sector schmucks.
$500k at 29 can barely even be considered "common" in Silicon Valley tech, let alone for a 29 year old who supposedly graduated from a low tier commuter college and is working in the Midwest. Please at least make your lies believable.

Ah, yes, all those struggling Wharton MBAs out here angling to make a buck while Larla with an MBA from Punxsutawney Community College is netting in half a mil in her MLM executive role, right out of b-school!
