I was wondering if a person with 12 years and above experience in a manager position with a consulting firm or a product manager in a product firm should opt for an Executive MBA? 

Will it add more finesse to the person's career skills or is it just for the sake of a tag?

Does Executive MBA in India matters after 10 years of experience?

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to enroll in a part-time (weekend/evening) executive MBA program at an IIM or similar institution. I need advice on the following:

1. Which program/institute would be most beneficial for personal branding, networking, career and monetary growth, and learning business fundamentals with an eye toward future business ownership?

2. Specifically, which is the better choice: IIM-A (fully online), IIM Indore (part-time in Mumbai), or IIM Kozhikode (video learning from most cities)? Please evaluate based on education quality and degree value.

3. How can an executive MBA positively impact my career and what career paths might it open?

About me:
- Experience: 5 years
- Current Role: Senior Software Engineer in Banking org
- Previous Experience: Tech Risk Consulting in Big 4 (non-coding, role that MBA folks work in)
- Future Goals: Managerial role in Big Tech with active coding, business ownership

I would appreciate any insights or connections that could help.

Thank you!

Executive MBA Thoughts?

Software Engineer

Hi folks, I’m a Sr. PM at a good startup currently getting 40 LPA. My total experience is 6 years (2 years PM). One of the CXOs suggested to me (over a casual conversation) to consider doing an MBA from ISB or Ivy League colleges if I can afford a career break. 

I know that post-MBA might not see a huge jump in CTC but from a long-term perspective do you think it would be worth it? Will it open more avenues for growth?

Should I go for an MBA?

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.

MBA or Non MBA PM

@Folks_who_hire: Would you value (in terms of hiring, salaries) an executive MBA as much as a regular MBA in the Indian Job market? 

(Job types: Senior Management roles in consulting, consumer goods, finance)

Executive MBA vs Regular MBA

Business Development Manager

I currently hold a SDE position with 2 years of experience, and I've come to the realization that coding isn't my ideal career path. Consequently, I'm contemplating pursuing an MBA primarily to transition into an executive role and have better growth opportunities post-MBA. My current salary is 18 lakhs per annum, while I've observed that the average packages at ISB hover around 35 lakhs per annum. And the fees is around 40-45 lacs.

Does it seem reasonable to pursue an MBA? I understand that it might take 3-4 years to break even in terms of costs, but in relation to gaining experience and expanding my professional network, is this a step I should genuinely consider?

Is doing executive MBA from ISB worth it?

I am just a graduate and never got time to do MBA since I got first job post college. Now while switching jobs, I see recruiters are in need of MBAs. 

Does anyone have done MBA ex and got an edge or faced any issues while joining any company?

MBA Executive program

Strategy & Operations

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?

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?

I am probably earning 2x of what an average T-1 MBA grad makes in India. I'm just not happy in my role and this SDE grind caught me lackin'.

Can you help me determine whether it is still a good bet to get an MBA? Because these normie MBA folks are literally the dumbest people I have seen and I think I can do a better job than them.

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

I joined an MBA program while I was making close to the average salary of post MBA grads. 
  
 Few things to remember: 
  
 1. Opportunity cost of a 2 year MBA is humongous. The PGP at IIMs will cost you a crore+. Imagine trying to get an ROI on it. 
  
 2. PGP at IIMs are filled with freshers and low work experience folks which naturally means there are very few senior roles on offer. So you may not find the right level after MBA. 
  
 3. It's best to restrict yourself to 1 year programs like ISB's PGP and IIM's PGPX. 
  
 4. Be really sure of what you want from the MBA. You can easily switch to SDM or product roles without MBA. Recommend giving that a shot if you are just tired of SDE
