Should I go for an MBA from top IIM if I am earning INR 12LPA as a software developer?

I'm a 2023 graduate from NIT Calicut(Mech) I got placed in a service-based company as SDE with a CTC of 12 LPA I am confused should I be going for MBA from BLACKI ? I'm interested in consulting firms and I've heard that consulting and banking firms won't shortlist you in summer placement if you don't have 9/9/9 my acads are 10/8/8 should I take the risk for trying to get into consulting in final placements in IIM's or should I start preparing for a switch in a good product-based company.

If you want to move to a management role, definitely. 12lpa isn't a lot of opportunity cost

Do engineers not move up in the company as management folks do ?

Engineers generally take one of two paths. Go down the IC route (SDE4, architect, etc) or management route (engineering manager). Neither of these has anything to do with an mba

If you want consulting roles, MBA is the only way I think.... and top consulting firms only recruit from very few MBA colleges....find them and join only them
