I am a female with a recent MBA and work experience in the profit and non-profit sectors.

Where is the hidden job market in Marin/SF/North Bay?
How can I get into consulting companies?
What is a realistic salary for an MBA around here?
What recruiters do you recommend?
Is it more difficult for women with MBAs to secure employment than men with MBAs? Share your experience.

I had a false impression that an MBA would open up doors and yet it is taking much longer than anticipated. I am a bit frustrated as I have major school debt that needs attention yet I need to secure a strong job first.

Please feel free to share anything relevant.

I think the MBA is only worth as much as the the school you earned it at. Sad but true. This especially rings true in the Bay Area. There are a lot of educated people with MBA's and you are not going to stand out unless it is from a top school, and/or you have the real world experience to back it up. Unfortunately the MBA no longer automatically puts you on the fast track to a high paying consulting job.

If you want a more tailored answer, you will probably need to let us know where you got your degree and what kind of experience you have.
