Prod Man(after MBA) vs Google

Hello Folks,

I'm currently working at Google, and I'm considering quitting for an MBA (expecting admits to IIM-A/B/C) to break into Product Management.

Honestly, I'm interested in it for industry exposure, the chance to climb the ladder quickly, and, let's be real, the fat paychecks.

I am currently not really earning at the level I should be, even at Google. Could someone with experience share some genuine insights?

If you're not a full time SDE go get that MBA. If you are an SDE then wait for some time before deciding.

Majority of PMs don't have fatter pay checks compared to their Engg Counterparts. I would suggest to stay in Google, connect with a few Principal PMs, leaders and make a switch internally. In a BSchool, things can go haywire at times.
