Should I get an MBA?

My profile:

  • B.Tech in CS from Tier2
  • 7 years of experience as Software engineer
  • Worked in startups, bigtech
  • TC ~ 90L

I am good at my job, well respected among peers, and have consistently performed above expectations, but it feels like something is missing. Even after making decent money, I am not satisfied with what I’m doing in my life, unable to see how it will all add up in the long run. Anyone else feels the same?

I’m contemplating hard what I should really be doing with my life. The ultimate goal is to start something of my own - but due to lack of ideas (and maybe intelligence, drive?), I’m looking at what options do I have with my career.

Evaluating getting an MBA from top Indian/US B-schools. I think it will help me ‘restart’ afresh, help me make good connections, gain new perspective. However, I’m an introverted person, so its a big risk if I would really fit in into the MBA track. Would also mean leaving a 1 cr/year job on the table.

Career wise, it is a good move? Would you recommend?
