Like this friend will keep probing about my job change or MBA admissions but legit knows nothing about my life and doesn’t even take the time to ask “how’s your family.” Jeez.

Hi All, Would pursuing an executive MBA from a top B-School be a good idea for an experienced professional with 9+ YoE? CTC : 22 lac+ Current Org: Big 4 Been thinking this over a lot as this would involve a lot of money and of course my time; Also, I might be full of regret later on for giving it a proper shot. Would I be risking stability and money for this? My wife is fine with this though. Opinions pls.

Heya all you fun people. I am contemplating moving from Dubai to a more visa friendly country (Canada, Singapore, Australia etc). Need some tips on how to do that. Past experiences would be great.

I got an offer to join exec team (direct report to CEO) of a company - I don’t know/come from the industry, nor do I know the team (beyond interviews). Legit company in fintech, been around for decades, privately held and on path to IPO in 2-3 years. Comp is easily 2x what I make now 3 years post MBA, with equity upside. Better WLB too. But…can’t shake the feeling theres something here I’m missing. Is it just impostor syndrome or am I really unqualified to do this and should avoid?

Hi All, I'm a fresh MBA graduate with loads of education loan. Joined ACN. Now, I'm torn between two options. Repaying the loan ASAP and getting free of tying up part of my income towards EMIs OR Stretching out my repayments to maximize tax savings (while investing those savings in index fund SIPs) So fishes, which choice would you pick, and why?

So I have 150k saved at 26, am I behind if I wanna get to $1 million by 35? Any advice on how to get there and whether a top mba is worth it?

What would make MBA school worth it to you? On a call now where out of state tuition was $97k… that plus 2 years of lost wages could easily be a $400k price tag. I understand different schools cost different amounts but still wild.

Anyone regret their MBA, if so why?

Do Bulge Brackets recruit MBA students for their PE or VC practices (e.g. Goldman PIPE or Goldman Growth)

Want to exit consulting to a strategy/ops role at FAANG. Have had no luck even with a referral getting an interview at google. Can people who made the transition share tips on how to stand out? I am a Computer Science Grad from a decade ago, not exactly a developer anymore but work in technology consulting, and have an M7 MBA

Need some advice. New job opportunity with a school could be a minimal pay cut but offers full tuition reimbursement on any curriculum. Considering it for the mba, but are mbas really worth it? I’m likely not going to stay in comms forever so maybe this could help me transition to something else? Or is field experience irreplaceable in other areas too?

I am a software developer wanting to pivot career into logistics and supply chain (biz side not tech). Looking for mentorship. Which school is good for doing MBA which will help me pivot into supply chain?

Looking to leave M&A consulting (mix of deal strategy, DD, PMO work) and pivot into either pure deals strategy or corporate/growth strategy (basically away from PMO). I have 4+ YOE and an MBA. In my current SA role at a T2 firm I’m getting 170k TC. Want to hit 200k in my next role. Been talking with some B4 and T2/3 firms, but not getting a title lift or pay raise to hit 200k. Would appreciate some insights from folks here who’s made transition into A&M, AlixP, MBB or any other T1/2 firms.

Current T15 MBA student here. Looking through LinkedIn to see who is interning at companies who wouldn’t give me the time of day. They are overwhelmingly M7 students. Prospective students, school rank matters. Incoming students, start networking and get your referrals in order so a recruiter doesn’t throw your resume out because they’re swamped with applications and default to the better brand name school when deciding who to interview / hire.

I really want to work for MBB but don’t have an MBA. And no interest in pursuing one. 10+ years in the management consulting space at B4. Do I have a shot?
