MIM is not that ideal. Rather work in India a few years and then go. Decreases job risk.

My friend graduated this year is planning for masters in management and targeting b schools in France mainly hec Paris, Essec and ESCP as he told me but he is confused whether he should go for it or not keeping in mind he will stay there for few years and want to earn decent , he knows that usa is best in terms of salary but current scenario is preventing them from applying to techno-managerial masters like mem/msba

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I am graduating in 2024 and looking for joining entry level product/business analyst roles . I am wondering when the things will get normalise and hiring frequency will become normal as most of the students even from IITs and other premium institutes are finding it hard to bag jobs unlike in past years , what should I do being a tier 3 college student having a mechanical engineering background who wants to switch to product/biztech roles , i am planning to puruse MIM abroad after 2 years , will I face any difficulties in finding jobs in European regions if target hec Paris/LBS OR INSEAD FRANCE OR ESSEC

When the hiring trend will back to normal

Non-tech grad planning to do Masters but stuck in this conundrum. For more context:

- Grades went down a lot but for medical reasons 
- Loads of extra curriculars plus freelancing for 2 years
- Working as a marketer in an early stage startup  
- GRE score: 320. CAT yet to give this Nov 

I know that getting IIM BLACKI is impossible even if I’m not a GEM cause all they care about is grades. But I wanna know if an MiM abroad is worth it or should I just do an MBA in some top 10 b school here. If anyone’s done an MiM - lemme know if it’s worth it and if the ROI is good.

I have been planning to go for masters and confused between masters in management at UK and European b Schools and masters in engineering management at us universities, which will be better considering that earning great money is top priority followed by living , saving , investing and come back to India in few years -Goal is product/consulting domain . Please tell me about the post  Recession opportunities as well guys 

As I researched USA is slightly expensive than UK and some visa norms are also there which leaves me in a dilemma , 
Top b schools in UK/Europe that I am aspiring
LBS
Insead
Hec Paris
ESSEC
Iese

Top engineering management programs that can
Be good  highly competitive and only worth the investment are:-
Dartmouth mem
Duke mem
Cornell mem
USC mem
John Hopkins mem
Purdue mem
Northwestern mem

USA vs UK/Europe

I am 22yo and just graduated from a tier 3 college with Btech degree. Currently placed in a startup as a Frontend Engineer CTC 7LPA remote. I am confused should I prepare for masters and do that or should I work hard in FE and switch after 1-2 year for better pay. 
And what one should do? Masters in Cs or MBA , I know both are different but still confused.

Confuses about Masters/Job

Frontend Engineer

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 🙏

If anyone’s done an MiM - lemme know the ROI and if it’s truly worth spending 50L+ for a one year degree.

MiM abroad vs MBA in one of top 10 B schools in India?

I have a question which was popping since long in my mind , there are many people who go for higher studies abroad in b-schools like LBS INSEAD HEC PARIS, or ivy league at USA or some for MS CS in good colleges , After working for few years with careful financial planning and saving many of them come back to India as they have old age parents, friends and family here . Do these b-schools people get same preference as someone from IIM BLACKIS/FMS/ISB  OR as someone from IITs/Nits for higher positions based on performance or in other general things, if they are continuing job here rather going for some business/startups???

Do these people get same preference as IIT/IIM people in india

Up until recently I was of the opinion that moving to the US is not at all great giving all the uncertainty around visas, jobs, safety and racism.

However,  lately my cousin and his husband who went to the States 3 yrs ago for masters both got H1B while a junior got a full scholarship on tuition fees from Stanford and Harvard for MBA.

I now think maybe my thesis is wrong and I am seriously considering a master's primarily out of FOMO I guess. Narrowed down on a 1 year tech MBA from NYU and Cornell.

Pros and cons of moving to the States

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!

Will an MBA destroy your life or make it better?

SHE: 
- Senior Risk Analyst | 4 years WorkEx | American Express. 
- Graduate from an old IIT.

- HEC Paris
- Oxford
- Cambridge
- SDA Bocconi
- NUS Singapore
- IESE
- ISB
- Are there other good schools, she can Target?

She's 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: Is it worth considering ISB MBA or IIM A PGPX, are they good and any comparison between the two?

Query 3: Should she reappear for GMAT, if her score is not good enough? How else can she build her profile? Any consultant she can refer to based on your personal experience?
