she didn't say they weren't hiring mbas; she said you didn't need an mba to work there or in silicon valley.

i have no idea why anybody cares what this lady says, but this article hasn't accurately addressed her point.

>i have no idea why anybody cares what this lady says

Because she's the COO of Facebook and arguably one of the smartest executives in tech.

But how did she escape being squashed by the word bossy? Didn't that dreadful word prevent her from becoming a facebook exec?
LOL.

the coo of an online yearbook that's pimping clicks and pageviews. how does this make someone an expert on parenting, sexual discrimination, and all things education and hiring?

I clicked this mainly because I had skimmed the other piece from Sandberg saying that FB didn't need the MBA to be seriously considered.

This article (title included) appears to primarily be "clickbait." I didn't find any part of the piece particularly insightful. There are links advertising their own services/pages to help people with MBAs trying to get jobs, which leads me to believe this was primarily done for traffic

I'm wondering if "clickbait" should be a first-class content flagging option. It's subjective, of course. Clickbait is not quite fraud...but I do feel like people are attempting to steal my attention.
I feel like this is sponsored content, where the company is sponsoring itself. It just happens to have a more clickbait-y headline. As shown on this season of South Park...ads are evolving.
This is "content marketing" at its finest. No third party involved.
