Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

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!!

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

For all techies who have been in industry for more than 4 years, is it worth to do mba from iims if you want to venture out of software and get into business. 
24 M, TC 45 

Few cons which i can think of are
- you lose out on the salary of the two years
- end up with a debt 
- you get the job which is gonna pay at par or below the the current salary

pros can be 
- you grow quicker once you are in the industry
- you get exposed to much bigger network of professionals and senior execs of multiple firms
- 5 year down the line, you salary can get much better when comparing with tech job

I need help with making an educated decision on whether to go for it or not, thank you

I am very fascinated by Management Consulting and been speaking with ex consultants. All of them are critical of it, but agree the money is good 🤤

Need advice 

- Do these companies take lateral hires? I have seen only IIM candidates freshly graduated being taken in
I'm not IIM, but MBA with 6 years of work ex

- MBB have shittiest WLB and highest money. Which comes down as per tier. Which is the best tier to get into, so I have best of both worlds (less shitty WLB with lesser money)

Getting into Management Consulting

Consultant

Hey. I'm a post graduate from a tier 1 MBA college currently working as a management consultant in one of the Big4s (<1 year). Compensation is good (~30 lpa), can't complain. Work has been stagnant for a while firm wide though and have just been focused on upskilling myself.

With the interactions I've had till now, I don't really see myself building any hard skills other than data analysis in excel, power BI and business acumen here. (I might just be ill informed here, but are these transferrable skills I can take to the industry? I know data analysis is the bread and butter for business everywhere but I'm talking about specific software and whatnot used in companies) 


1. I'm just worried about the exit opportunities that I might have later on. Can anyone shed some light on what kind of exit opportunities one can expect?

2. Let's say I want to get into the operations side of the industry. Is there anything I can do if I'm not necessarily involved in such projects?

Software Project 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

I am gonna graduate in June 2024 and want to get into product management, I have two internships in same domain but there is a gap after Jan 2023  because I started preparing for some exams in whole 2023 as market was very bad then , although it's bad now as well but not much as compared to last year, how should I approach towards it when getting back and what soft skills i can develop in these 3 to 4 months so as to land at good product management internship with a potential for full time conversion

How to get into product

Hi there,

I have 3.5 years of IT engineering experience and am considering transitioning to consulting. However, I don't have an MBA. Is this switch feasible? If so, what skills and experiences should I highlight on my CV? Are there any certifications or courses that would help?

I appreciate any advice or insights!

Advice needed!

Hi folks, hope you all are having a wonderful day!

I'm in a dilemma and need your expertise!

I'm a senior consultant(mix of business analyst and consultant) at a mid size organization with 3 YOE, 16 LPA from tier 1 college. 

From my understanding I'm entering a stage where i can still pivot to product management, as later on it will be pretty hard!

So my question to you all is that is it worth it to change career or should i climb ladder in consultancy.

I don't really have any passion, my main focus points are money and job security. 

What do you think i should do?, what pays more?, which field has more future opportunities?

Please advice.

Ciao

I joined CN with some hope to do strategy work after working for long in the Tech Consulting space. But here the work is pathetic and doesn't even come close to the work I used to do earlier. On top of that so many teams by industry , functions and whatnot and such cut throat competition of staffing and credit. What is this madness. All the people who are long timers here have totally no skillset , I can't fathom how they have survived so long here .

Looking for top executive MBA program in India.

The top ones in IIMs are costly.
I am looking for something which is affordable and has good placements, alumni network.

Online is preferred though offline from Bengaluru is also fine.
No full time as current job is important.

Hey people,
   I am a software engineer. I am thinking of pivoting to leadership kind of roles like EIR, founders office, product manager, etc. 
   For people who are currently in such roles or know people in these roles, do you think people from tech(engineering) background, pivoting to this role at age of 24-25 yrs is advisable? Would people hiring for these roles see that I don't hold an MBA?
   What are the things about these roles I should be aware of?

Thinking of switching to non-tech(leadership) from tech

Career Progression:
IIT BTech - avg GPA
Ex-founder experience
Youngest amongst mid-management at current job
IPO possibility on the cards
Well compensated

Preference:
Global top 10-15 MBA
To eventually stay in India (3-5 yrs timeline)
Doesn't fancy Consulting but seeks senior leadership / founder role in next ~5 years

Expecting to learn more about the management consultant world and their salaries. As a techie, your field of work always seem mysterious

Management consultant salaries

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.

Should I do MBA after IIT

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?

were you forced to go for a mba due to career stagnation or lack of opportunities? 

referring to 3Y degree, bcom,bba,bsc people(not t1 btech folks)

trying to understand and gauge the landscape here

folks who got into management consulting post undergrad, how are y’all doing?

Hi Guys,
I  am working as a software developer in Oracle( btech from old IIT) . Its been 2 years and I now want to switch to management consulting (preferable in MBB) to experience it so want to give MBA.

1. I did some research but I want to gain some information on the salary aspect of it. I heard that the salaries are not that high they would probably be in the same range that I am getting now. BUT, I want to know in the long run do consultants get more hikes compared to tech roles? 

2. I heard the wlb is pretty bad so is there some resource that I can study to know if thats the right suit for me since its a big risk I’ll be taking moving on to a different field. There are some good exit opportunities also I believe after MBB can someone tell more about it.

Would really appreciate some answers on this. Its on my head for a long time. Cheers!
