At 42 and as a finance interim coming to the end of another contract i'm considering an MBA but it would have to be distance learning and modular probably at Leeds Business School where I did my degree erm....20 years ago!

has anyone done a distance learning MBA? doe sit lose some value versus s full time course?

I think if my next assisgnment is another interim position I will keep a diary as this last one has had its moments!

to be honest I've done it since 2007 and its getting tiresome. I want to go the other way and find a business and go career - my wife would too.

I'm stressed at the moment as the search for the next paycheck is a daunting one but the market is picking up.

linkedin works well if you invest a bit of time in at and I search the finance job boards daily. the premium for interims in terms of salary is still there I probably earn 3-5k more but I don't get bonuses or benefits, training sometimes or job security obviously.

the issue I have now is potential recruiters look at my CV and think interim only so discount me automatically for perm roles which is very frustrating.

I'm back on the market now and about to play the game once more
