People who joined tier 1 MBA
Have decided to go for a tier 1 mba problem is I already have a good job in tech . Salary is also fine but I think I didn’t see myself being in tech for long atleast as a software dev. Is it a good idea to go for an mba ?
One interview, 1000+ job opportunities

It totally depends on what your goal is, if its solely monetary MBA wont make sense for a software engineer.
Also sde can have good exit options without mba - product management (try for an internal switch)
I have friends who were devs and took different paths after a tier 1 MBA. Almost all of them joined in really good firms as PMs, think top startups, ecoms, fintech etc. but after a couple of years few of them felt that they don't like the PM role as much. They loved coding more. So they are kinda pivoting. One is planning for another masters in CS. Another is starting up. But many others love the PM role. They have been promoted etc, jumping companies they are happy. So it all boils down to how you feel about coding now and maybe few years down the line. Will you miss it if you can't do it day to day? Or you'll be ok? Take a call based on that. If you are already in the 20LPA salary range a tier 1 MBA won't give much of a salary bump. So take that out of the equation. Hope it helps
Thank you for responding and I did thought about it. Gonna do it . Hopefully everything will work out well
