If it's dead then why do we have the weekly I am tier 1 - fresher - 50lpa - overachiever - should I do an MBA posts?

Mba is a degree that boosts your ego and that's it

There is a difference between product owner and product manager 🥸

Supply demand problem indeed. Barely any demand from the consulting firms, I hear recruitment is down by 75%

75%. Damn. That's huge. Any clue by what time the market would improve for MBAs.

My educated guess would be that 2025 grads should be fine

MBA was always dead. Speaking as MBA grad

Is it true for all specializations, like finance, product management, sales, etc., or only for some?

Sales and marketing for sure. And HR
Cannot confirm for finance and others

Things are definitely not that bad in ISB. Probably less startups offering the pay like last year. You have had cases like cogoport who hired a bunch and laid off plenty in a couple of months

Isn't ISB crazy expensive? How much does a grad has to earn to recover the cost?

Consulting and IT has crashed. Imo job market above 20 Fixed has dried hence these IIMB and ISB type colleges suffer. Their batch size also runs 500+.

At a BLACKI IIM right now, doing their full-time one-year MBA program - I can't say the MBA is dead, particularly when you are a part of a batch with many people looking to transition from core industries/PSUs/Govt. Sector to the private sector (and the MBA is one of the easier routes), but I can definitely say that the placement scene is looking grim this year.

Thanks for sharing the news. Hope the situation improves by next year

Don't know about MBA being dead or not but the placements this year are certainly low both in terms of number and the average package which is due to the market
