Earning 2x of a Tier-1 MBA grad already. Should I still do an MBA?

I joined an MBA program while I was making close to the average salary of post MBA grads.

Few things to remember:

1. Opportunity cost of a 2 year MBA is humongous. The PGP at IIMs will cost you a crore+. Imagine trying to get an ROI on it.

2. PGP at IIMs are filled with freshers and low work experience folks which naturally means there are very few senior roles on offer. So you may not find the right level after MBA.

3. It's best to restrict yourself to 1 year programs like ISB's PGP and IIM's PGPX.

4. Be really sure of what you want from the MBA. You can easily switch to SDM or product roles without MBA. Recommend giving that a shot if you are just tired of SDE

Don't. Just don't.

Yeah. Definitely go for it. MBA will make a hole in your pocket and then you will feel renenergise to earn it back.

Depends. MBA may not be helpful in short term, but might help you later in your career (after 20-25 YoE). If you have sizeable savings and want to do FIRE before 40, mba would be a bad fit. On the other hand, mba is a no brainer if you plan on working till 60 / or beyond

If money is your goal; then don’t. The moment you get Sr. staff & Principal you will making more than 3 Cr+, more than an average SVP makes in India.

But if you like to take part in leadership where strategic decisions are made, then you need to speak the business lingo.
