That depends on your credentials and the role you end up in. There is crazy talent and competition in IIM ABC so you'll have to fight hard. I've seen CTC ranging from 1Cr to 16L

Median salary is what you should expect.    
 Placements in IIM depend on a lot of arbitrary factors that are out of your control.   
 Things like your 10th, 12th and UG CGPA can be used by your prospective employer for shortlisting.   
    
 A particular company that is a high payer might nor turn up that year cause they had a tiff with placecom, or they can turn up and decide to hire for diversity and hence you might not get shortlisted.    
    
 You might end up in a GD group with anxious peers who can reduce the entire GD into a shouting match (I experienced this twice, in the same day).    
 You might have been rejected 3-4 times and your confidence is low and you still have to attend 3-4 more interviews for which you arent mentally prepared and hence flunk them all (happened to a very close friend of mine - a super interesting guy who crashed out of 8 interviews in a day and just didn’t recover well until day 2.

1. They are the most overpaid people in India.
2. They have no work life balance and they don't even know what it means.
3. They think they are the best at everything, but they can't do anything right.
4. They are always complaining about their job and how much they hate it.
5. They are never satisfied with their salary or benefits package.
6. They are always looking for new jobs because they think they deserve better than what they currently have.

Would you like to add anything else here?

Reality Check

Associate Consultant

I graduated in 2022 with a Bachelor’s degree from one of the old-IITs. I want to know the prospects that doing an MBA from IIM A, B, or C will open up for someone in my position, both financially and non financially. My current position is SDE-1. If I should do an MBA, how many years of work experience should I have before MBA?

And also what is the career path for it? 

I have heard Only Top IIM grads get these kinds of jobs. 
Can CA students get a job at an investment bank after completing his course?

What is the average salary of an Investment banker?

Overview: 
Everyone around me, be it old school friends to the people in the bangalore startup ecosystem are planning to or already in the process of doing an MBA. 

What is happening:
Most of the people I know, either are going for a tier 1 MBA in India or colleges like “Carnegie Mellon”/ “INSEAD”/ “NUS” these are really good places. 

Why am I concerned:
I dont have great acade, GEM candidate so I have decided to not pursue CAT at all, and MBA outside India is too expensive. 

I feel like my job and career are going fine with 4 years of professional experience I am making 25LPA in marketing. I am not keen on doing an MBA but I dont want to regret later.

I consider myself to be fairly smart but what happens when I am competing with people who have great brand names on their resume and are actually smart. 

People on GV with more experience, have you gone through this struggle? 


Sidenote: I also have friends who have cleared IIM ABC, ISB and not gone, because they just wanted the admit letter. Which is brave lol!

Hi all, I got an admission call from IIM Bodhgaya. I would like to try again next year for better IIMs but my family is scared to lose this chance to join an IIM. Since Bodhgaya is one of the newest IIMs, is it worth it to join or better to try again next year?

IIM Bodhgaya - worth it to join?

Intern

Let's talk about being highly underpaid. It's a reality many of us face, yet it's often shrouded in silence. Whether you're in a corporate job, a creative field, or any profession, feeling undervalued and underpaid can be demoralizing and unjust. It's not just about the numbers on our paycheck; it's about the recognition of our worth, our skills, and our contributions.

Too often, we find ourselves in situations where our hard work and dedication are not adequately compensated. We put in long hours, go above and beyond our job descriptions, and yet, when it comes time to discuss salaries, we're met with excuses or paltry raises that barely keep pace with inflation. It's a cycle that perpetuates feelings of frustration, resentment, and even imposter syndrome.

But here's the thing: We don't have to accept being undervalued. We can speak up, advocate for ourselves, and demand fair compensation for our efforts. It might be uncomfortable, and it might require us to challenge the status quo, but it's essential for our well-being and the integrity of our professions.

Employers need to recognize the importance of fairly compensating their employees. It's not just about the bottom line; it's about fostering a culture of respect, appreciation, and mutual benefit. When employees feel valued and adequately compensated, they're more engaged, productive, and loyal.

So, if you're feeling highly underpaid, know that you're not alone. It's a widespread issue that deserves attention and action. Whether it's through salary negotiations, seeking out better opportunities, or advocating for change within our organizations, let's stand together and demand the compensation we deserve. Because when we value ourselves, others will too.

Are you getting underpaid?! I know it sucks🤦🏻

1. Most of the time it sucks because you're comparing and that'll always take your joy. In some cases, you're not underpaid but someone else is overpaid. 
 2. When you don't have a job, you'll appreciate being a bit underpaid too. 
 3. Not all people can take the risk of standing against the organizations. 
 4. Indian labour laws suck and that's why the culture of fair compensation is just a joke. 
 P.s.: Everyone should know their 'market' value and they should always aim for the highest of the range.

Analyst 

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 ?

Hi, currently in wfh but not sure till when it will last 
Have an offer from new company but it is based out of Mumbai 
Want to prepare for MBA exams 
New ctc would be 20, big brand 

But not sure whether to switch or not

Unsure wfh vs wfo post notice period

I've been with the same firm after one switch post MBA from a Tier 1 B School. Completed almost 5 years with the firm. Just wanted to benchmark what the salaries are like after 5 years of work ex. 
It started with 17 fixed and now get almost double of it fixed. How's the salary for other folks in Marketing/Sales?
I know Fin and Consulting may make higher than this. What should I ask for if I plan to switch now?

I have a general question around MBA salaries. I see many colleges boasting about their placements and salaries. The salaries are >30LPA for most tier1 colleges.

Are the figures quoted by B-Schools base salary or Total Compensation inclusive of base, stock and other variable pay?

Data Analyst

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
