MBA Executive program

I'm a 28-year-old guy currently employed as a data scientist at a Fortune 500 company, earning a respectable annual salary of 24 lakhs. Lately, I've been contemplating pursuing an MBA, but I haven't initiated my GMAT preparation yet. I'm wondering if it's a wise move to transition my career in this direction. I've heard that individuals with a tech background who graduate from IIM/ISB might need to begin their careers anew, typically with a salary in the range of 27 to 28 lakhs. Can you confirm if this is accurate?

I was wondering if a person with 12 years and above experience in a manager position with a consulting firm or a product manager in a product firm should opt for an Executive MBA? Will it add more finesse to the person's career skills or is it just for the sake of a tag?

I have done my MBA from a tier 3 institute and find it a little difficult to make into strategic positions in my organisation. Has anyone found themselves in a similar situation in the past ? If yes then what was your roadmap to get into strategic positions in your organisation. Does the second MBA ( especially an executive one from tier 1 institute) make sense. Would love to listen to different perspectives here.

Hey, I'm currently 23 years old earning a decent 12l.pa with 2.5 years of work ex I currently do not enjoy my job, constant stress anxiousness, can't work here for another day. Planned to do my MBA and preparing for CAT this year and also putting my papers down in a couple of days. Considering I have my exam on the 26th of next month, how long should I keep my notice period? I'm planning not to work at all once I resign, as the company hasn't been good to me. I can keep my notice a week, but then again I won't have a job in hand and will lose work ex. Need some valuable advise here.

Thinking of doing an MBA degree Main factor worrying me is I'm making a good amount of money in my current job (20lpa, 2yoe), but I want to do an MBA to gain a broader perspective/get a business outlook/make friends😔/personal growth. I'm kinda hell bent on going for it, but also worried about how to extract time for prep etc as I would not want to go below the top 6-7 colleges. Want to know others experience who went through a similar situation. Is it worth it ?

Most of the product managers I have interacted with have MBA/PGDM degrees. With an experience of 12 yrs in the service company, what would be my prospects of cracking a PM role in start up/other companies

->The question is will a MBA help to make the switch or a jump easier...or having work ex and then going for MBA is better ?* I'm an economics graduate (FRESHER) and currently working under 'growth and retention' having a decent exposure as the team is small...though I plan to switch from this role to PM. WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE SOME INPUT ON THIS.

People, who gone through the journey of GMAT, tier-1 MBA college India or US, how do you assess whether or not to join a early stage startup right after college, does it affect chances of getting in? keeping in mind I don't come from engineering background or tier-1 college. Also, where did you study for GMAT? I gave it once after prepping for a year to score around 650. Any recommendations?

Hello grapevine folks, I am a 2024 batch btech Cse , general male candidate from IIIT( 10 year old).

As iims do prefer people having work experience. And what percentile should I aim for getting admission in old IIMs. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I know it’s a much debated topic but I wanted honest views of my fellow grapers/viners/grapeviners. How valuable is an MBA as a PM? What are the trade-offs - MBA vs Non MBA? Does it affect the career 10 years down the line? About myself: I’ve 3.5 years of work experience as a PM in the BFSI sector. I did my engineering from a tier 1 institute and started my career as a PM. Currently wondering what to do next. The learning experience in the current company has been below par as of today with no signs of improvement. I would like to explore VC, PE but I’m happy with PM too. If you are pro MBA, bonus points for suggesting any relevant courses. If against, then please suggest any upskilling resources 🙌🏻 TIA
