Earning 2x of a Tier-1 MBA grad already. Should I still do an MBA?

I'm a pre-MBA working professional. 1. Is it worth participating in a business case competition to build a good MBA profile? 2. Does winning a BCC make a difference in MBA admission selection? 3. If BCC is worth doing it then please send some recommendations. Thank you!

Hi I am currently at 1.5YOE earning around 60-65k appx I am getting opportunities to do an MBA in tier 2 colleges like IIT Roorkee, IIT Kanpur, IIM Nagpur etc Should I consider them or should I take a drop for a Tier1 MBA or should I continue to grow workex and switch in IT domain only ?

Hey everyone. I have an experience of around 3 years a d currently with my MBA plans. I want do my MBA from Tier 1 college (atleast top 50) because I graduated from Tier 3 college. Should I try for ISB or go abroad. Should it be 1 year or 2 year? I have a lot of questions like these. Please share your suggestions. It would be helpful to many.

Hi all, This question is for people who have been in this field (any form of analytics) for a few years. My background (You can skip to the next section and jump back for reference here): Role: Data Scientist/Analyst Tech stack: Python (ML), SQL, Tableau YOE: 2 years Work: Started here as a fresher. Being in a service based company, we offer analytics solutions. I have worked to create a clients data pipeline(No code tool), to maintaining it, creating dashboards (Primary task) and ML models (Based on any major change in metrics). Salary: On the lower spectrum (Definitely!) Reason for this post: I would call myself good with tools but lacks industry knowledge and the maturity to actually be in analytics. I do decent, but I have to depend on my manager sometimes to understand the business and provide correct solutions. But I guess that is how it is in case of any fresher starting out? Question: Is pursuing a 2 year MBA (Targetting only Tier 1 colleges) a good idea for someone who is already working in analytics for 3 years (by the time I join an MBA program)? Please share your thoughts. Context to the question: I've discussed with someone who did their MBA and works in analytics for a bank now. And according to them, the best way to progress in analytics is to choose a domain and stick to it. And to reset my career, I should do an MBA. This will help me get an understanding of all the domains, improve my soft skills (and time management, etc.) and also give me a good place to start fresh. And they say it will help me in the future as well, as it gives me a very good alumni network. I'm considering this because of my ability to network has not been that great and also to get the domain knowledge they said I'll be getting. But is it really worth it considering I lose 2 years salary, and salary growth and also have to spend a big amount. Thanks in advance to anyone who replies!

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.

Context: Currently a fresher, with about a year of internship experience under my belt. Tech is my calling and I love doing this. But, people (family especially) have been hounding me to get an MBA degree, I've managed to convince them I need a couple of years of work experience, which is appreciated in B schools. But my UG is from a tier 3 private college, but it's there among the top private colleges. So my understanding/dilemma is that since my alma mater isn't there among the top, would it hinder my ascent up the ladder, since I don't have a tier 1 degree. Dilemma: - It's not that I don't find an MBA degree interesting, but is it worth losing the job/interview momentum and the couple of years. - If you're good at your technical end, and keep going up the ladder, is it wrong to think one would acquire the people skills along the way. - Let's say you get an MBA degree from a tier 1 B school, and want to get back in the tech industry, what are the roles one would expect and how much tech would they be involved in?

I (M22) currently have about 8 months (2023) of SWE experience working at a European tech company making roughly 12Lpa. I am planning of going for a MBA in the next 2-3 years but only if I get into a top b-school. I am highly ambitious and hope to climb the MANGA corporate ladder to a C suite/exec level position in the next 15-20 years. Will an MBA make sense for my goals and what sort of roles do tech giants usually hire for from top iims/isb and the likes? Is going for a MBA going to fast track my career or should I just grind the swe -> sdm -> director path with just a B.Tech degree ( Tier-2 private university)

Hi, I am currently 22, graduated recently from a tier 2 institute and currently working at a US based startup earning 18lpa ( almost all base ) + rsu's, lately my family have been nagging me to do a postgrad, I am confused weather I should do an MBA, MS or not do a postgrad at all considering the years I will miss in workex. What should be my best course of action considering ROI in the next 10-15 years ?? P.S. Currently I am not sure what my interest lies in, but just try to excel at whatever comes my way.

Non-engineering tier 1 grad here. Close to 1 YOE. At this point, I'm not sure which career path I want to choose. I see so many MBAs working in the same profile as me and honestly? I would never work in this role if I would've done an MBA I know that doing an MBA isn't magical and wouldn't solve all your problems. Maybe it makes sense for all those engineering grads who want to change careers or for people who are just looking at buying some time before they grow up. I know I won't learn anything absolutely new because my undergrad was in a similar field. What it'll offer me is a good network and some pedigree, but at this point I'm not sure if it's worth it, especially for ~30 lakhs of fees. I just want to hear from people who had a similar background (commerce/non-engineering) and if they had any regrets due to pursuing/not pursuing an MBA.

Hello Folks, I'm currently working at Google, and I'm considering quitting for an MBA (expecting admits to IIM-A/B/C) to break into Product Management. Honestly, I'm interested in it for industry exposure, the chance to climb the ladder quickly, and, let's be real, the fat paychecks. I am currently not really earning at the level I should be, even at Google. Could someone with experience share some genuine insights?
