I had an offer from a top business school, but decided to take a risk on an early-stage startup instead. My family's convinced I'm making a huge mistake. Has anyone else gone against family expectations in their career? How did you manage the relationship strain?
Repeat after me: Only losers do an MBA. People who 's great career path ahead of them, don't need to do MBA. MBA I itself doesn't have any value. It opens doors for you. If you can do it yourself, why waste time and money. - Ex MBA
🤣🤣🤣tell your college also “ex-MBA”, I can bet it wasn’t a top 10 one. Don’t generalise MBA, come visit top colleges, we will show what we do.
I have added the explanation to this controversial (?) comment in the depths of the thread here. Good luck finding it.
Did the exact same thing Gave up tier 1 MBA offer for a role in a tech company.
It worked out well for me. Parents found it to be weird, but a few years later, they now trust me with things. They understood that I know some things better and will take the right calls.
Note: my relationship had never strained. Just that they questioned.
I hope the same happens with you, it's the best feeling.
Emphasis on "Hope". 1 person's experience is not the same a sample size success 😟
You can do MBA and work at startup as a consultant/intern.

I can suggest a better arrangement where you don't need to sacrifice one for another. Feel free to DM
Turned down MBA right after engineering and joined a start up. Soon became part of the top management team. Start up went bankrupt, worked without pay for a few months. Had to quit after I started defaulting on bills
I had to restart my career, compromised on pay and finally in a job that pays me alright. But I am way behind many people who followed conventional path.
I've come to terms with it.
Doesn't mean to scare you, but just he ready for all possibilities
But my family had no interference, they supported me through all lows
See After college your life anyways gonna be hell , you get 1 crore Or 10k , its all same
Disagree..how can you lead a family or atleast have a decent life for your self.. Money matters a lot..
It doesn't matter, anyways u have to work 10 hours a day , and u ll be exhausted everyday, earning doesn't matter , anyways our heart gonna damage everyday and eventually we die with savings in bank account for children. Maybe your beginner in working life
Back in 2018, I had an offer from a fast-growing fintech startup. The salary was lower, the hours looked brutal, and the whole thing seemed risky. I chose to stay at my comfortable Big Tech job instead. Fast forward to now: that startup ...
I think this is the best platform to ask this question. My goal with the IIM is to get connections and grow my network.
