Is SICSR worth post 8 years of experience in IT

Hello! I'm standing at a career crossroads and could really use some perspective. Profile : -YOE-3yrs. -2 years in a technical role and - 1year working as a Project manager in a well known MNC. - Graduated from a well-known T-2 college engineering college. I've always wanted to be in a managerial role. I feel like I'd definitely do better in such a role, in the long run. I'm considering going for an MBA at ISB, but – the idea of taking on a 45-lakh loan is giving me pause. Coming from a middle-class background, it's a significant financial commitment. Plus, the job outlook for Product roles is fuzzy, and I'm not entirely sold on the consulting scene either. The big question is whether an MBA from ISB would really pay off. If you've gone through a similar decision-making process or have insights, navigating a career shift post-MBA, or just general advice on making a call like this, I'd love to hear what you have to say.

Hi, I am working in an mnc as a software developer since 2 years after graduating from a top tier IIT. But I don’t see myself doing this in the next 5 years. Should I do an MBA from top tier IIM college? I know it will not be beneficial in short term but in long term is it a good idea? Anyone from similar backgrounds do share your experience.

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?

I work as a PM in a B2B SaaS startup and have an overall 4 years of experience all of which is in product management. Now, feeling a stagnant in growth and salary. I was wondering if I should try for an. MBA from IIMs or ISB? My current package is around 36 LPA. I do not want to change my field and I like being a PM. Then does MBA make sense for me in long term?

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?

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🙏🙏🙏🙏

I have been working in a small bootstrap startup ( 50 employees). The company is profitable and have great culture and ethics ( best out of the 4 companies I have worked for). I am expecting a decent salary hike (30%), career and learning growth. Should I look for a larger organisation or make up my mind for a long term career in my current organisation. P.S. I have 3 years of post- MBA experience and I have done Btech and MBA from premium institutes.

Very confused and have very less time to finalize

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.
