Is mba worth it ?

For all techies who have been in industry for more than 4 years, is it worth to do mba from iims if you want to venture out of software and get into business. 24 M, TC 45

Few cons which i can think of are

  • you lose out on the salary of the two years
  • end up with a debt
  • you get the job which is gonna pay at par or below the the current salary

pros can be

  • you grow quicker once you are in the industry
  • you get exposed to much bigger network of professionals and senior execs of multiple firms
  • 5 year down the line, you salary can get much better when comparing with tech job

I need help with making an educated decision on whether to go for it or not, thank you

If your goal is to get into business, and not secure another job with a higher pay, you can also consider Executive MBA.

  • study while working, hence still receiving salary, reduces opportunity cost
  • getting educated and learning on the go
  • networking with others that can help with building your business

Working won’t be possible if it’s a full time executive MBA right?

The other way round, actually. An Executive MBA is an MBA for folks who want to get a degree without leaving their job. The classes usually happens on weekends, or on weekdays after-work hours.
