Exact same question and situation as well. Currently trying for DSA roles might move to MBA if tech does not interest me.
I think you can do the same because after MBA you will probably find it harder to return to DSA/Tech if incase finance and all does not interest you.
Do keep me posted on your decision though.

I missed this and read your comment after 6 months since I posted. THANKS , what are you up to by now ? 6 months passed already

MBA or not ?- Grapevine

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Old IIT, random branch, 8 years out of college, 45LPA fixed + 10 variable + 20L RSUs in a generalist project lead role with a consulting services firm. Confused. Had been wanting to startup at some point hence didn't go for a M7 MBA.  Not sure about starting up now. ISB, Insead and maybe a long shot at an M7 also on the table. Can stay at this firm and be partner equivalent in 4-5 years but it ain't MBB so max I see myself is at 80L fixed in 5 years and it plateauing.
How'd you go about thinking this through?

Management Consulting

I have 5+ YOE and I wanted to pursue MBA for a long time. Considering MBA now is a good choice? Will I be considered as a fresher after completing MBA. And what will be the career scope after MBA. I’m confused whether to purse now or not.

Software Developer

Hey everyone, seeking some career advice here. So, I've been grinding away in the risk domain at a big financial services MNC for about 2 years now ( have total experience of 5 years from similar companies), pulling in around 30 lakhs INR. Recently, I got a bit curious about what else is out there, so I started poking around. But here's the kicker – every HR rep I chat with says my pay is cool, but they're eyeing up MBA grads from fancy schools for the budget I'm looking out for. 

Thing is, I know my stuff. I've snagged awards, jumped up the ladder faster. But now I'm starting to sweat about whether my lack of an MBA is gonna bite me in the rear down the line. Plus, with all the chatter about layoffs, I'm low-key freaking about whether my gig here is as solid as I thought. 

Any advice on how to navigate this maze? Should I bite the bullet and go for that MBA, or stick to my guns and trust that my track record speaks for itself? Appreciate any wisdom y'all can drop!

Confused on if I should get an MBA

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?

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.

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.
