Should I do an executive MBA from IIM?
I am confused if I am the right candidate for the program. I don't have a solid reason for pursuing this course.
My thoughts:
- How will this degree help me in my career growth?
- am I already earning more than what usually is earned by a passing out MBA grad?
- I will get married in the next 2 years, and I want to get done with any additional degree before that.
- What if my career growth hit some blockers just because I didn't invest some time and lacs into this degree.
About Me: I have 4 and half years of experience as a Data Engineer. My academics are phenomenal (10 CGPA in 10th, 78% in 12th(99 percentile State Board) and Gold medalist in Btech with CGPA of 9.2 from new IIIT.
Experience: ZS, Flipkart, Grammerly Current role: SDE2 / L2, will be promoted in next 6 months
Salary: Cash component: 35LPA+RSU( projected to reach 40LPA + more RSU) in next 6 months)
Pls, this post is not to brag. I am asking for genuine advice on why one with such a portfolio should join an MBA degree program. My motive is just lying in how it will increases my earning potential along with career growth.
PM track will be ideal but you'll likely start at a salary post MBA.
If you're optimising for money, with your profile you may end up losing money by moving to PM - both due to opportunity cost and due to lower salary than engineering.
