Does anyone have an insight on how XLRI Delhi is for PM roles? I got an admit from them so wanted to get some reviews since there's very less info available online.
PM you need to learn by yourself. Old professors cannot teach a skill that changes every quarter
Yeah I know but doesn't having an MBA make the transition easier? I love development, but with the advent of ai/chatgpt and the market saturation i dont know if it'll be relevant in the long term, that's why I am interested in pursuing a PM role. Also my current comp is quite low and with the current market scenario it's really hard to switch that's why I was thinking of going the mba route.
MBA can launch you into PM. sure. But what's the cost you pay? 2 years + 20+ lakh or so. Check out the opportunity cost. It will probably run into 50+ lakh. Itne paise and time me you can easily learn PMing via online courses, do free PM projects, build kick-ass resume, apply to companies and eventually get PM profile. And this can be done in less than 6 months. So why spend time and money for MBA. Some of the most kick-ass PM's i have worked with are only engineers. MBAs are mostly all fluff and less substance.
PS.. I am an MBA from one of the top 3 b-schools of India.
