Any product manager who has done an MBA from ISB or ivy league? If yes, please comment πŸ₯ΊπŸ™Œ

Questions:

  1. What was your job title pre and post MBA? What kind of an expectation did you have before going for an MBA?

  2. How did the degree help you in terms of career growth, salary hikes?

  3. Anybody who's started up post the MBA? If yes, how did it help?

Did it from IIMK, 1yr PGP-BL.

  1. Pre-MBA: Software Engineer Post - MBA: Product Manager.
    Now : Sr. Product Manager

Had expectation that I will make the MBA year the best year of my life and fortunately, I could. Explored a lot of stuff, did multiple things, won case competitions, did internships, held POR, got early placement. Got more than I had I thought. Very grateful.

  1. Wanted to be a consultant but happy being a PM, it was a plan B. Got 3x salary hike - pre to post-MBA salary.

  2. Haven't started up yet but have aspirations. For now, help candidates get into 1-yr MBA schools. Have a good conversation rate by charging half the amount of consultants charge, so it has developed as a side hustle and I love doing it. Happy to help anyone!
