Career Dilemma. Please help with your suggestions

I am currently working in a Series A funded startup based out of Blr, and we are hopeful to raise another round in a few months (let’s assume this is certain for the sake of discussion). I’m thinking b/w between deciding to stick here for 4-5 years min, and pursuing MBA (aiming for abroad ideally) I am a growth manager right now, with 4 years experience in total, w/ 1.5yr at my present company. I get along with my team very well, think my manager is a great mentor for me right now and really love the product we are building. The growth prospects of the company are pretty good as well and we are very (cautiously) optimistic about raising Series B in this funding winter. My main dilemma comes when I think of money that I can probably earn here or elsewhere if I pursue education further. No matter where I work I’d rather do it for the stock options and give myself a chance at an early age to get to a good financial state asap. At the same time, despite the upfront costs that an MBA brings, there’s sureshot way that I’ll get to a higher pay whereas relying on a Startup’s ESOPs is riskier comparatively. I’ll be walking into my appraisal call in a couple of weeks. I’m paid 20L fixed + 10L ESOPs right now. I studied at a tier 1 institute, not that it matters, but compensation wise I want to be matched to my peers. Is it sensible for me to ask for a marginal fixed comp hike and ESOPs of 30L-40L (is this the right amount to ask for the risk I’m taking) in the hopes of getting wealth - Is this significant enough for me to ditch my other options (or companies)? Or should I stick to standard hikes and pursue an MBA?

Trying to figure out 'What to do Next'

Hello folks, i have been thinking to pen down a post on this community for sometime now but seeing how GP is becoming a bad mix of quora & Twitter, i refrained myself from doing it but I do believe there are like minded folks in this community who can help me out there. I am a growth product manager in a bank within their digital banking team, have 6+ years of experience post MBA from SIBM Pune. I have worked with a traditional media company for first 3 years and with successful startups for the next 2, I am in my current role for the past 10 months now. My CTC is 35 lpa, (30 fixed, 5 variable )and 3 lac joining bonus. I was doing institutional sales for first 3 years, category management for next 2 and now heading growth for the digital banking app. I am feeling stuck in my professional journey right now, no specific reason but I think banking work culture is a bit boring for me. I am trying to figure out 'what Next' and have also taken up a course with growthx with the intend to learn something new, upskill myself and be relevant as times are progressing. I have always been fascinated with the idea of working with company's like Google, Samsung, Stryker, Spotify where I can have flexibility, good pay but more than that a feel good factor of not having to prove myself everyday at work. I have given the last 6 years to work, I don't intend to be so involved going forward but very firm with the idea of corporate being my primary income I don't know if I am making any sense of the current situation but just wanted to share my mental state.
