Huh, I’m surprised you’re planning to do further degrees after the Schwarzman: that undercuts my point above. If the Schwarzman isn’t viewed by employers as a terminal degree, then I’d view that as a major downside of the program. The opportunity cost of a year of full-time work is high.
To clarify, the Schwarzman is a terminal degree and AFAIK is viewed by employers as such. From what I’ve seen in internal program data the vast majority of Schwarzman Scholars do not go onto further education; I think my case / specific niche is unusual for the program.
