They're worth their salaries only because they pay high fees.
Else, i don't see how a IIM grad adds more value.
Brand name and connections. When the CEO/MD is from a top college, he will not let a T1 grad to join at a lower level. Even if a candidate with much better skill set is available, the CEO/MD will give the T1 grad a flip up. This helps in building brand value for that college, Which in turn will build his brand value. The whole setup works like a cartel. You have inside members and outside members. Talent/ knowledge is not the issue here.
From one of the older IIMs. Most of the batch is crazy smart, could make it to PhD in any advanced sciences at best universities across the globe. But they go after money. So they mould themselves for consulting, Product, IB or whatever pays the most bucks. Deserve it - Yes. Worth it - No.
Hua kya?
Nope
Thoughts on this? I myself did my MBA from a T-1 school and found it value enriching experience that allowed me to crack my role at Uber.
What do you think?
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
How is ISB managing to substantially increase the avg CTC of its cohorts, year after year.
I need some advice.
