I am a project manager, looking to shift into Product management!
How is the upraised course on product management? And how are the placement opportunities?

Upraised Product Management course review!

Continuing with the narrative against popular belief that MBA solves all problems including but not limited to: dream job, faster career progression, work life balance, a partner with hot bod, dowry in Bitcoins, hair loss, acidity, and so on... 

Had a discussion (argument(?)) with one of the prospective students from IIM C, that all is rosy at IIMs and summer placements went well.

Sharing publically available material to counter those "facts", starting with a frantic email sent by IIMC Placecom to alums seeking summer placement opportunities for 80 students before the final day of placements.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I'm starting a new company and am assembling a team, in all my previous startups had like 7 people working but now everyone is settled and few have retired coz made too much from the exits so back to assembling a new team :p

As in all my previous startups I paid an average of 40Lpa an 2-3% ESOPs to all the early team they made insane wealth. But now I'm thinking of going lower and meet the realities of the market rather than paying higher why not paying the market rate?

I have been taking multiple interviews and experienced this people consider higher salaries to be a lie they want to earn dirt-cheap salaries and don't trust themselves with what they deserve and in the end ended up mocking me. One of the senior people that I interviewed thought 3lakhs per month was very high no-one pays that much. Same goes for an intern who I decided to pay 1lakh per month thought it's not possible and ghosted me thinking I'm scamming him ( his job was to meet high profile people make connection with different founders by going to parties and events regularly )!

My new startup is not in crypto but in something unique!

What do you'll think should I pay people less as that's what they think they deserve?

Paying higher / lower in Indian Startup scene

I can't believe the hype - the LinkedIn masturbation pre presentation was annoying. The teams were n00bs and presented like 7th grade kids in elocution (I'm looking at you Sama Patkar). The ideas were juvenile, classic Excel sheet circus, and none of the judges grilled them. I mean really guys if you think this is growth - it's 2000. My CMO and plenty of untalented marketing folks i know would've ripped this shit apart. I kept waiting for something to learn. But what a waste of 3 hours.

Did anyone watch GrowthXs Open day?

I'm a 28-year-old guy currently employed as a data scientist at a Fortune 500 company, earning a respectable annual salary of 24 lakhs. Lately, I've been contemplating pursuing an MBA, but I haven't initiated my GMAT preparation yet. I'm wondering if it's a wise move to transition my career in this direction. I've heard that individuals with a tech background who graduate from IIM/ISB might need to begin their careers anew, typically with a salary in the range of 27 to 28 lakhs. Can you confirm if this is accurate?

Hi Folks,
I am trying to understand how relevant it is for a PM, say after 6 years of experience, to have an MBA. (By this I mean an executive MBA)

While I would like to understand pros and cons, what I also wanted to ask this group we have here is, if there are alternate resources or curriculum resources available anywhere so anyone can get that education without spending a fortune. 
Not everyone can spend 30L for an education, also not everyone can afford to miss getting paid, due to commitments or debts or medical expenses to near and dear.

I would like to know your honest thoughts on how MBA has helped you with your thinking and hence working and if you could share some resources, followed by say Top Tier colleges, to aid anyone who is following this thread.

Is going to ISB worth it??

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I have 5+ YOE and I wanted to pursue MBA for a long time. Considering MBA now is a good choice? Will I be considered as a fresher after completing MBA. And what will be the career scope after MBA. I’m confused whether to purse now or not.

They definitely have great financial sense, negotiation skills and business acumen inculcated in them since early in their life. But saying that's equivalent to an MBA, especially after attending a tier 1 school is nuts !

After MBA Chaiwala and the 10-Day MBA, we have a newfound entrant in the market

Specifically a question to all the t1 tech clg grads (mainly software engineers) earning 1l+ pm out of clg with a lot of scope for growth. Post mba avg salary is 1.5l per month. 

I can understand ppl desperate for a career change and non tech ppl who are underpaid and don't really have ab option but it baffles me why well paid folks would shell out 30lakhs kr take the burden of loan just to learn how to appear smarter than you actually are instead of investing it for a meagre salary increase that can be achieved by job switches.

I'd love to  hear any insights about ppl who've already been in the space. Why u did, salary PRE post sector etc

Why the heck do people do an MBA?

Hi Grapevine tribe,

I am a Yoga Instructor based in Delhi, Having Work Experience of More than 3 Years. Now, I am planning to pursue MBA in Marketing. I appeared in CMAT, 2023 and secured 98.69%ile. I have offers from IMT Nagpur and IMT Hyderabad. What according to you shall be a better choice?

IMT Nagpur or IMT Hyderabad for MBA?

I'm an arts major working in the communications space, planning to do an MBA. I've GMAT focus books and English seemed doable on my own. I've been using online resources to study Math but I'm very confused as to what to study and how to study. So I've decided to go for a coaching but I've no idea which coaching is actually good, especially for someone who doesn't come from engineering or other Math background. Jamboree is charging over a lakh for coaching plus counselling on admissions while there's Y axis which is charging much lower at about 50k but doesn't have many reviews. I also read reviews on Jamboree being the typical marketing institute and not worth for money. Has anybody actually taken up or know anyone who has taken up GMAT coaching that helped them? It's critical I start preparing now if I have to start my MBA in 2025. As there are a lot of business folks here, I would appreciate any genuine help you can send this way. Thank you
