Can you do both? What's penalty or required service after they pay for education? And would plan be to move within company or use MBA for outside opportunities?

I can do both. Would just have to pay back the cost (or a portion of the cost depending on how long I stay) of the degree should I leave during that period.

You mentioned you moved up quickly. Objectively, would you be fully qualified for the position to an outsider? Basically on paper, do you meet the requirements? I mentioned this is another thread, but companies today tend to promote based on potential, while outside they're going to hire based on accomplishments or history.

Unfortunately, no. And that's what I'm running into. Hiring Manager sees low end on the "Year's of experience" and no direct employment in the industry (either with competitor or customer). Yet, I've worked with every single customer or agency the job would require.
