Should I do an ISB PGP program?

Explain 1st, Why Mba?

Bhai short list aa jayegi and job bhi mil jayegi… ISB will give tag also… but do this only if you don’t like your current career trajectory or you want to significantly change it. If you are already earning 40+ then koi significant lift nhi aane wali unless you land in a senior role post your placements. Which will depend on your skills and luck.

Well I would suggest no! Assuming you are in edtech (indian focused company), big tech needs people to know process and metrics in detailed way! For them it’s a big no when it comes to typically Indian start ups plus I have been in both the side of things - Indian start ups are always in build mode and not focussed on process or metrics!

I would suggest you to keep working on your craft and get more expertise in a particular domain. The two years you spend in that would give you more returns than an MBA if you are already a PM.

Most opinions on this thread seem to focused around ROI, but an isb mba could easily get you into an MNC with higher pay than average packages given your experience. Also, I feel like an mba gives great exposure. I'm currently an APM at a firm where every other apm is from iimabc/isb and I still feel the need to take up an mba for the experience

You can pursue if you can afford it. But think of it more as a learning experience than a sure shot way to get placed in a big company

No

What did you decide?

Thing is market is down right now so maybe that is affecting your job change prospects. Anyways I believe if you haven’t sat for GMAT then you can’t apply for R1 this year, you have to go for R3 and seats in R3 are very less. Wait for a year, apply in 24 if you are still convinced if that’s the way. Meanwhile I hope markets will improve by Mid 24 so you can keep trying till then.

Can you share your BG? How did you get into product?
