Hi 
Is executive mba from IIM Kashipur 2years program valuable..

Executive MBA

I am confused if I am the right candidate for the program. I don't have a solid reason for pursuing this course. 

My thoughts:
1. How will this degree help me in my career growth?
2. am I already earning more than what usually is earned by a passing out MBA grad?
3. I will get married in the next 2 years, and I want to get done with any additional degree before that.
4. What if my career growth hit some blockers just because I didn't invest some time and lacs into this degree.

About Me:
I have 4 and half years of experience as a Data Engineer. My academics are phenomenal (10 CGPA in 10th, 78% in 12th(99 percentile State Board) and Gold medalist in Btech with CGPA of 9.2 from new IIIT.

Experience: ZS, Flipkart, Grammerly 
Current role: SDE2 / L2, will be promoted in next 6 months

Salary: Cash component: 35LPA+RSU( projected to reach 40LPA + more RSU) in next 6 months)


Pls, this post is not to brag. I am asking for genuine advice on why one with such a portfolio should join an MBA degree program. My motive is just lying in how it will increases my earning potential along with career growth.

Should I do an executive MBA from IIM?

Data engineer

Need honest opinions from folks, i feel stuck at my current role and can’t see any progress at my current org due to various factors. I am planning to do either an executive MBA or any other certifications or courses which could help find a different role. Is it worth the time and money? as I already draw a decent 6 figure salary. If so, if anyone has any personal recommendations on courses would welcome your opinions!

Executive MBA! Worth It?

Consultant

Should I go for MBA in top 10 b schools india like IIMs, XLRI, SPJAIN, etc

So a little background about myself. 

I graduated in 2023 from a tier college and managed to get an off-campus job in an investment bank as an SDE. 

My current salary is 24LPA.

Would it be beneficial for me to do MBA from the above mentioned colleges

Like would the placements there be better than what I have currently? 

Also if I can save enough money in 2 years would a MBA in US in a top 20 uni be better than MBA in IIM? 

I will be going for further studies sometime in 2025 or 2026.

My main goal is to improve my salary and build a network. 

I have also managed my own dev agency and did freelance projects in the past 4 years. 

If anybody has gone through the same please let me know your experience. 

This also applies to MTech/MS as well

Thank you.

Should I go for an MBA?

Software Engineer

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

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

Hello everyone,
Has anyone appeared for the IIMB test to get into their MBA program? I need some advice as to how to prepare. Would it be easier to opt for GMAT or GRE?

I got to know about this online, any ideas what is the scope and validity?

Anyone has idea around this IIMA programme?

Associate Product Manager

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Is it recommended to go for an MBA at a BLACKI IIM after having close to 1 year of Product Management Experience as an APM and PM at early stage startups?

MBA at a BLACKI IIM after becoming a PM?

Product Manager

I have an offer from IIM-Kozhikode (EPGP) and ISB (PGPpro).

IIM-K is approx 15 lakhs, 2 year-long program. Classes every weekend, but have to attend online at a centre in Bangalore.

ISB is approx 30 lakhs, 1.5 year-long long program. Classes alternate between online one week and in-person (Bangalore) one week.

No Executive MBA offers placements. I'm doing this for the sake of a higher education, and hopefully securing leadership roles in Big Tech in the longer run.

Purely from a ROI standpoint, which college should I choose?

Which Executive MBA to choose?

I am thinking of doing an executive MBA for a better salary hike. I am not in a situation where I would want to drop my current job and take up a regular MBA, moreover executive MBAs let you get those degrees from good colleges. I am currently getting 7.8LPA, how much hike can I expect by the end of my executive MBA?

EXECUTIVE MBA FOR BETTER SALARY

Assistant Manager

I have close to 5 years of experience in non-tech role (PMO+sales operations) and my CTC is close to 17LPA. My work-life balance was bad during the first 4 years but the learnings were good. Now for the last 1 year, my work has been pretty chill but at the same time I'm not learning anything new and I don't see any growth in this role. I'm in a difficult spot as it's not easy to change role at this point of my career and MBA option doesn't make a lot of sense from a financial standpoint as I'm only able to crack the new IIMs. 
Any suggestions on how I can proactively do something about this situation instead of just enjoying this chill phase of my career?

Career Stagnancy

Analyst

Hello!

I'm standing at a career crossroads and could really use some perspective.
Profile : 
-YOE-3yrs. 
-2 years in a technical role and
- 1year working as a Project manager in a well known MNC.
- Graduated from a well-known T-2 college engineering college. 

I've always wanted to be in a managerial role. I feel like I'd definitely do better in such a role, in the long run.

I'm considering going for an MBA at ISB, but – the idea of taking on a 45-lakh loan is giving me pause. Coming from a middle-class background, it's a significant financial commitment. 

Plus, the job outlook for Product roles is fuzzy, and I'm not entirely sold on the consulting scene either. 
The big question is whether an MBA from ISB would really pay off. 

If you've gone through a similar decision-making process or have insights, navigating a career shift post-MBA, or just general advice on making a call like this, I'd love to hear what you have to say.

ISB MBA WORTH IT?

I have done my MBA from a tier 3 institute and find it a little difficult to make into strategic positions in my organisation. 

Has anyone found themselves in a similar situation in the past ? If yes then what was your roadmap to get into strategic positions in your organisation. 

Does the second MBA ( especially an executive one from tier 1 institute) make sense. 

Would love to listen to different perspectives here.

Does a second MBA make sense ?

Hey, I'm currently 23 years old  earning a decent 12l.pa with 2.5 years of work ex

I currently do not enjoy my job, constant stress  anxiousness, can't work here for another day.

Planned to do my MBA and preparing for CAT this year and also putting my papers down in a couple of days. Considering I have my exam on the 26th of next month, how long should I keep my  notice period? I'm planning not to work at all once I resign, as the company hasn't been good to me. I can keep my notice a week, but then again I won't have a job in hand and will lose work ex. Need some valuable advise here.
