Do it in India only if you intend to continue to live in India. Otherwise no one knows even IIMs outside of India. 
  
 If you plan to move abroad in the future, do it from one of the top B-schools in US/Europe, for your MBA to have any value internationally.

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Hi, I have over 3.5 years of experience in IT and working at a service based company. I'm working in Oracle PaaS tech stack and not sure how much scope it has because not every organisation uses it. To switch technologies is difficult within an organization, unless you are lucky to have a project like that. I was thinking to consider MBA in business analytics because of the same. Will that be worth it or can someone suggest an organization which helps switch technologies?

Is an MBA worth it? (only outside India). Context in description.

Founder’s Office

I have heard mixed opinions about ISB/Abroad MBA. People who have done MBA what benefits did you get in MBA college and post that ? Did it help you in getting better job opportunities, better perspective of business, better network?. 
OTOH I have heard that MBA is an useless degree and not worth the time and money investment.
What are some pros and cons. Thanks.

What are the benefits of doing MBA ISB/abroad?

Welcome to Moving Abroad's Private Community

We all know doing an MBA from abroad is expensive. After passing out, is it true that there is no possibility of job placement and then you end up with a crippling debt with no job to look for.

I always dream of doing an MBA abroad as the experience and globalisation is much more. But what's the cost of this? 
 
Is India overall a better place to do an executive MBA in terms of better jobs and recovery of investment?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Does mba helps in long term? I know in short term it doesn't pay as much as sdes. But in long term sdes have salaries capped after certain stage. So if one decides to go into executive position, does not having mba hinders the process. Has anyone experienced this non - sense. I know this doesn't happen in usa, there people from philosophy background can go into higher position on the basis of merit or politics:). But here in India how's the scenario. Please put your thoughts.

mba worth

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

Saw a couple ads on Instagram and their website seems cool. It seems they have a cohort based learning and I like learning by practical experience model instead of relying on outdated bookish knowledge. 

But do these “alternative MBAs” have any legitimacy according to employers? If anyone’s a graduate I wanna ask:

How was the experience? And did you land a job after getting the certificate?

Anyone here enrolled in Stoa’s MBA program?

Content Strategist

I work in a consultancy as associate software engineer it's been more than a year, I wanna to master without leaving job ...

how's WORKING PROFESSIONAL MBA (CONSULTANCY MANAGEMENT ) FROM BITS helpful or not.

Is mba in consultancy management worth it?

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🙏🙏🙏🙏

MBA Profile Evaluation and PM Career

My opinion -  
  
 Q1 - If your long term goal is to be in India, prefer institutions within india. Reason - You won’t be able to build network, an imp component of any MBA program. I know someone who went Dublin and struggling even to get references back home. Adding A/B/C will help  
  
 Q2 - Target 720, you will land at a better place. GMAT is just a barrier, not the deciding criteria. 
  
 Q3- 2 years would be good considering your constraints and long term goals. If you can extend 1 more year, you’ll be eligible for IIMs 1 yr MBAs.  
  
 Overall - It’s my strong opinion that if you are targeting foreign MBAs, value derivation will happen only if you plan to stay, work abroad for few years. Financial burdens will be less plus you will something worthwhile to show. See the privilege of “foreign-returned” is slowly reducing in india as global roles are getting created here as well.

Product Manager

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.

ISB MBA WORTH IT?

Project Manager

Very confused and have very less time to finalize

Should going to IIMA/B worth it to someone who is IIT passout with 3 years of work experience and have ~50L CTC? Very confused in deciding!!

Do I loose out on senior roles in larger/  ‘branded’ orgs as I gain more experience due not being an MBA from top 10?

Current role - PM at Unicorn 
YoE - 4.5 , Pm exp - 2 
Education : BTech from tier 3 college 
Ctc - 41 lpa + esops 

I haven’t been able to get any short lists from MANGA or other large tech orgs only from startups.

Plans to do MBA

Associate Consultant

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?

Is MBA worth doing for me?

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!

It’s quite expensive to pursue one, but I’m worried not doing it will stagnate my career long term. Any views on whether I should apply (4yrs work experience currently, have worked in a boutique consulting firm previously). 

Any help will be sincerely appreciated!!
