Hey @Muzan_17 I'm currently doing the one year on campus executive MBA from IIM Lucknow after 8 years of work ex.  
 Help me with more details on what you're looking for and I might be able to help?

Hi , actually i have been wondering that is there any campus placement available for executive mba and does it holds same value as a traditional mba from IIM’s . Are executive MBA’s  treated like a cheap knockoff of the real deal . And does it provides a career boost or is it just like another row in educational qualifications

If it is the one year on campus, residential program, then:  
 a. Yes, there are campus placements 
 b. These are definitely not treated as rip-offs or knock-offs of the two year program.  
 c. You are treated at par with the two year MBA graduates, sometimes even better because most people in the one-year executive MBA bring with them at least 5 years of work ex.  
 It is the certificate courses which are under a year long which have a bad reputation.

As far as I know, executive MBA's are for the ones who have considerable job experience and want to switch to managerial positions and it's just the degree that's stopping them from reaching there. Usually people who want to switch internally prefer executive MBA.

So its not possible for a 2-3 YOE in IT sector to reach better position ….

I doubt executive MBA will help in this case .

Hi

Executive MBA- Grapevine

Hi, i was wondering that the Executive MBA Program from IIM Kashipur has some market value.  Or is it a total waste

Career Dilemma

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!

Welcome to Banking & Finance's Private Community

I have come across some nice certificate courses from IIM being offered via online mode. How valuable are they and is Nulearn an authentic platform to offer them

How valuable are the online certificate courses from iim?

Bank Manager

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

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?

Hi, has anyone idea about IMT Ghaziabad Executive MBA. 

Is this program good.

Need Opinion

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'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?

Data scientist —> MBA? Grass greener on the other side ?

Welcome to Moving Abroad's Private Community

Me: APM with almost 2 years of experience looking to do an MBA to fast track my career.

Post-MBA roles:
- Product Management
- Strategy Roles
- Program/Project Management
- General Management
- Other similar roles

Long term goal: To stay in India; fine with working 2-3 years abroad.

Query 1: Considering an average profile with 9/8/8 in high school/intermediate/college, tier-1 undergrad and 2 years work-ex at a start-up. Do I have a chance to bag an MBA admit from the following with little scholarship:

- LBS
- Insead
- HEC Paris
- Oxford
- Cambridge
- SDA Bocconi
- NUS Singapore
- IESE
- ISB

I'm targeting 1 year programs only for cost purposes, hence the US is out of the picture. Feel free to suggest good 1 yr US programs

Query 2: How much GMAT is required for my profile to get into these schools?

Query 3: Are 2 year IIM Programs more advisable for me and should I leave abroad colleges altogether. At the maximum, I can't wait more than 3 years of work-ex at the time of applying due to personal reasons.

Please guide me🙏🙏🙏🙏

MBA Profile Evaluation and PM Career

My opinion -  
  
 Q1 - If your long term goal is to be in India, prefer institutions within india. Reason - You won’t be able to build network, an imp component of any MBA program. I know someone who went Dublin and struggling even to get references back home. Adding A/B/C will help  
  
 Q2 - Target 720, you will land at a better place. GMAT is just a barrier, not the deciding criteria. 
  
 Q3- 2 years would be good considering your constraints and long term goals. If you can extend 1 more year, you’ll be eligible for IIMs 1 yr MBAs.  
  
 Overall - It’s my strong opinion that if you are targeting foreign MBAs, value derivation will happen only if you plan to stay, work abroad for few years. Financial burdens will be less plus you will something worthwhile to show. See the privilege of “foreign-returned” is slowly reducing in india as global roles are getting created here as well.

Does Deloitte India provide higher study(mba) facilities..If yes , could anyone help me what it is ?

SAP Manager

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 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

Welcome to Higher Education's Private Community

Hi all, 

I am currently having near to 4 year experience in an MNC working as a backend dev. A few years back I got to know the executive MBA programs that these are offered to professionals with work experience and the education fee is very high that will possibly take your career to new heights.
 
Please share your advice on how I can / shall I go for this. If you have any knowledge or pursued an executive MBA. Please share your experiences. Money wise and how it'll be in the program. As I come from a middle class background it'd be tough to afford such a 30L+ fee Structure. 

I appreciate the effort, thank you.

Advice on Executive MBA

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

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.
