Umm adding a few points would be better for my understanding.

See any good pvt college or even sarkari one will cost u a lot. Plus for 2 years u wont get any salary. And u r seeing how market trends are . PM roles are mosty techies and no other sector pays as well as tech. So why not just invest in tech only

How old are you? Career options currently?

If you've cracked an IIM or similar college then yes, otherwise hell no

Software Engineer

Finance Operations

If you are under 25, an MBA might help you. 
  
 Get into top 10 bschools, youd end up paying ~25lakhs and get a 20-25 lpa job. 10-20 bschools, you pay ~20lakhs and can get a 15-20lpa job. 
  
 You pay loan EMIs for 3-5 years, hopefully by 5yrs post MBA you can have a 30-50 lpa job. 
  
 You've attempted CA, so you know what hardwork looks like. Getting a good college is more important than how you perform in the college. Grind CAT, IIM BLACKI, FMS, XL, MDI, SPJain, get into one of these and your battle for a comfortable paying job is half resolved. Getting a 95-98%ile is not that tough if you put your head down. Being a BCom grad will help you vs all the engineers in getting interview calls

By your background, tier 1 and 2 pe target karo. I am not sure what career choices you have right now.

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)

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?

Intern

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?

Should I do MBA?

I'm a 28-year-old guy currently employed as a data scientist at a Fortune 500 company, earning a respectable annual salary of 24 lakhs. Lately, I've been contemplating pursuing an MBA, but I haven't initiated my GMAT preparation yet. I'm wondering if it's a wise move to transition my career in this direction. I've heard that individuals with a tech background who graduate from IIM/ISB might need to begin their careers anew, typically with a salary in the range of 27 to 28 lakhs. Can you confirm if this is accurate?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

sounds shitty but have heard such stories

Has HR ever told anybody that they pay their colleague more even when you both are doing the same job just because the colleague holds an MBA?

Hi

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I'm working as a software Engineer at a startup with almost 2 YOE. Looking at most of my friends going to usa for masters right after college i felt like I'm making a mistake by not doing the same after listening software engineers earning 100K us dollars there. I thought I'll give myself two years get some work experience and then think about it but honestly I'm still confused if i should switch(which is not proving to be so simple in the current job market) or should I go for masters (again confused here in choosing between usa or Germany or Australia). Will taking almost 40 Lakhs of loan money and doing it be worth it ? Seriously damn confused about what next step to take. When I spoke with the CTO here, he advised it's not worth and you can be earning almost similar money here soon. I'd say FOMO is also a big thing here. As i tell myself let's take the risk, 2 years of study will be done soon and then work for 3-4 years , make big money , repay the loan and get back to India. I'd be having the international exposure, experiencing some above average lifestyle than India , so confused man 

Any grapeviners who might have seen people around them taking this step please suggest me what to do, any advice is greatly appreciated 🙏

Really confused about masters vs switch

Is MBA worth it directly as a Fresher

Growth Manager

Lots of M7 MBA folks I know of are having ‘Stealth’ on their LinkedIn since they haven’t found a role yet and don’t want to show a gap - it’s brutal out there

Please don’t do an MBA for the sake of doing one

Investor

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” :)

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Just wanted to know if your top B schools in India actually are worth the money you’re ready to shell out or is it something that’s just gold covered ***. 

Incase of doing an MBA any recommendations at what stage in my career should I go for one and which schools should I apply for ? 👽

Are colleges like ISB worth it or are they just fancy overhyped colleges ?

I would like to do MS in AI and have massive interest in management based roles. After completing BE, is it worth spending another 4 years of my life in studying further?

is doing MBA after MS worth it?

Cybersecurity

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.

MBA!
