Rant about IIM

?

For all techies who have been in industry for more than 4 years, is it worth to do mba from iims if you want to venture out of software and get into business. 24 M, TC 45 Few cons which i can think of are - you lose out on the salary of the two years - end up with a debt - you get the job which is gonna pay at par or below the the current salary pros can be - you grow quicker once you are in the industry - you get exposed to much bigger network of professionals and senior execs of multiple firms - 5 year down the line, you salary can get much better when comparing with tech job I need help with making an educated decision on whether to go for it or not, thank you

How is ISB managing to substantially increase the avg CTC of its cohorts, year after year.

I have a general question around MBA salaries. I see many colleges boasting about their placements and salaries. The salaries are >30LPA for most tier1 colleges. Are the figures quoted by B-Schools base salary or Total Compensation inclusive of base, stock and other variable pay?

Take this work a pinch of salt, not to be triggered. I work in a company with a good number of folks working in product, growth/ strategy. Many of which are from tier 1 Indian business schools or some even from abroad. Paid hefty, I just don't see them being that smart. Putting way too much time into presenting something instead of getting work done. Jugaad method of calculating target metrics, ever changing requirements (low on clarity) is just the norm. I was someone who looked upto these colleges and wanted to be in one after having a good 5 yoe. Now I'm not sure. Hoping to be proved wrong, so there's no need to fire your guns at me :)

I recently came across some articles. https://medium.com/@srikanthp2019/the-intentionally-hidden-truths-of-iim-calcutta-3fc36cfd7e30 https://www.reddit.com/r/CATpreparation/s/JZm34iaRt2 Does ragging of such scale where the seniors time and again disrespect the juniors and humiliate them really happens at top B-Schools( i m talking about IIM A,B,C,L,K,I, FMS, XLRI etc) l. I am from one of an old IIT and haven't faced any ragging or harrasment from seniors over here apart from the freshers party where the seniors themselves told that if you are not comfortable then you can leave. Not one incident after that. Instead it has been a total opposite scenario and the seniors are too helpful here in a variety of ways. I have friends in IIT Bombay, Kanpur and Delhi and they too told me the same thing. I was very surprised and astonished when I found out that kids age 18 years old aren't engaged in ragging at IITs but adults age 23 years+ doing their MBAs are doing the same at IIMs. PS: I plan to pursue an MBA from an IIM in the future but such incidents are a big turn off for me hence I wanted to know the reality.
