Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Tier 2 colleges doesn’t have so decent placement. If someone goes for of-campus placement. what would be chance of getting a decent paying job.

Would that be difficult to land a job after MBA from a tier 2 college

Operations Analytics

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.

Should I go for an MBA?

How can one benchmark growth? What should the average IITian (not the outliers ) be making post 9 years of work ex, no MBA or Masters' generalist tracks non tech? Is a 45 fixed + 5 variable good or below par? How much would this be more with an ISB MBA? And  with a M7 MBA but back to do a job in India?

Median salary at 9 years work ex post IIT

Management Consulting

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 Data Scientists's Private Community

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!

What is the future scope of the PM job role...will it still be relevant after 10 years, Is going to IIMs spending close to 25 lakhs in this economy to get into a PM job role justified??
Context: I know many people will say you don't need IIM to break into PM, But considering I'm a 25 Male, from tier 3 college...currently working as a product designer with 8 lpa...so I think the only way to reach 25-30 lpa in hand by 28 is by joining IIMs

Is getting into IIM to get into PM role justified?

Got two offers, one is from Guidepoint for the role of CSA which is basically acting as a mediator and reaching out to industry experts to solve problems which we get. This one's at Guidepoint and the CTC offered is 9.5 Fixed and the location is Bombay and it's hybrid. Other one is from Genpact for IB Analyst (M&A) and the role is the usual making pitchdecks, valuation reports for the different deals we would be working on. The CTC offered is 7.7 but the location is Gurgaon. Genpact is 5 days WFO.

I want to work in Investment Banking only, also preparing for CAT on the side bc BBs only hire from top B schools.

Really confused between staying at home and doing something much relaxed so that I can study but also jeopardize my career trajectory or should I take the plunge and go for Genpact?

Investment Banking Associate

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?

Folks with 5 yrs of Post MBA work-ex...

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?

Advice on MBA

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?

MBA Salary Components

Data Analyst

Is MBA worth at this age while funding your two years through a loan.
Bg: B.com graduate from a tier 5 college lol (CA dropout ig that explains the clg choice)

MBA!

Specifically a question to all the t1 tech clg grads (mainly software engineers) earning 1l+ pm out of clg with a lot of scope for growth. Post mba avg salary is 1.5l per month. 

I can understand ppl desperate for a career change and non tech ppl who are underpaid and don't really have ab option but it baffles me why well paid folks would shell out 30lakhs kr take the burden of loan just to learn how to appear smarter than you actually are instead of investing it for a meagre salary increase that can be achieved by job switches.

I'd love to  hear any insights about ppl who've already been in the space. Why u did, salary PRE post sector etc

Why the heck do people do an MBA?

I can share, I was working abroad post my T1 engineering. So you can imagine it must be > 1L.  
  
 Like all those confused 20+ engineers, I asked one of my skip levels that how should one plan the career path. He gave me a simple framework, “Look at your boss or bosses boss. If you are ok living that life, you’re on the right path else time to think more”.  
  
 I got my answers, maybe try finding yours rather than seeking majority “votes” :)

Account Manager

Would love to understand at what age people are joining their first company/startup and how much are they making initially? What’s the average pay diff between people graduating from tier1 institutions and tier2/tier3+ institutes?

How much are people making in their first job straight after college?

Hello Viners🙋,
One of my cousins is going to complete his MBA💼 next year (2024) from a Tier 2 university in Mumbai. What’s the entry-level package💰 he can expect from on-campus or off-campus placements?

It would be helpful if anyone could provide tips, as I have minimal knowledge in that field.

Thanks in advance 😊

Is going to ISB worth it??

Analyst

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?

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!

I am interested to get into investment banking being from a tier 2 MBA college our highest placement is around 30-35 lpa and top 30% is around 20-25 lpa.
