Is ISB MBA a good option for a product manager with arts background and ~33L salary after 4-5 years of work experience?
More interesting is how you made PM and current compensation with an arts background. Care to share your story?

worked in a small 20-people team start-up in my first job in a marketing/community role and then outperformed in terms of generating innovative ideas to grow fast. Founders didn't have money to pay so just gave the PM title - post that, leveraged the title + reccos from those folks in other start-ups I worked in, in the same sector. It's mostly about right place, right time

Bhaijaan, leave everything and start an AMA, this looks like one hell of a story!

Literally on the same boat. I did journalism, been a PM for 2 years now, approx same package and been considering ISB only for the reason that it’s been hard for me to switch to a different company. Totally looking to treat it as an opportunity to expand my career options.

Marketing in an agency to product marketing in a smaller team (big company but small team), picked up some additional responsibilities, focused on a niche (zero to one and driving adoption primarily which needed heavy marketing and design lifting to which I was able to contribute to easily) and moved as a PM to a different company. And honestly, building relationships outside work, networking helped greatly. People were able to vouch for me when I was looking to shift.

You've already cracked the ceiling for most arts background folks in terms of salary. MBA won't really help much beyond this point unless it's a top tier college possibly outside India.
Not in India. I don’t think so. The cost benefit is skewed but it can definitely help in changing industries or moving to FAANG when they start hiring again
