What are you planning to do after getting your MBA? If you go back to FDD after, then just continue. You can still go get your MBA after getting laid off if things get worse. If you plan to switch to something else, can you get your foot in the door without an MBA? If not, then go get your MBA. Just remember, when you're getting your MBA, you not only take in out loan but also lose your income for that two years.

Echo this, but if you’re trying to go IB better off just networking your way in rather than going for MBA. Granted it’ll be MM/boutique but still better than going for an MBA given the debt and opportunity cost of 2 years of income.

My company has given me a promotion without a raise. Any suggestions on how to deal with this?

Little background:

Asked for promotion in late 2020 - was required to skill up, after skilling up, asked again about when I'll be promoted and was denied because there is no "vacancy" for it.
Got my annual hike in Oct 2021 without the promotion. I asked HR last week again and got a random announcement email saying my promotion is w.e.f Oct 2021. ( and no raise for the newly promoted role).
