Best time to do MBA in a crap economy IMO
On the flip side MBA may not be very good ROI anymore. Most are foregoing it
This person is a hater. If you get into a top 10 MBA school, go!
It will definitely be a ROI, just from the networking alone.
It does seems a bit odd that 2 yrs of doing drugs with old money dudes named Tate is worth of a 40% salary bump
OP I’m in the exact same boat as you but I’m planning on going. Classes are not going to be online in the fall. Will we wear masks, social distance ourselves and have pretty much no school events? Probably. But I think Zoom classes ain’t gonna happen and it’s not worth losing an MBA from an M7 just bc you can’t party as hard the first 6 months
the second year tho. Going to be nice
Wait it out and see if your school let’s people defer. If the entire class basically ends up deferring I’m going to do the same. Otherwise I’ll probably go this fall even if it’s online.
Yes, which is exactly why I’m saying wait it out and see if other schools take the same approach
Applications for fall 2021 are going to be insane. If you can’t defer I’d go now.
Isn't MBA specifically on the decline though? Employers are not seeing it as value add to their company compared to relevant experience?
Really depends on the school
It won’t be the same social experience initially but you should still be able to get the same career boost, and that is fundamentally the main reason to get an MBA. I agree that this is a great time to be out of the job market and when you’re recruiting for internships and your next role in 1-2 years, things should be looking up. It does depend on the school and what you are aiming to achieve professionally overall.
The only value MBAs have is in the network you're going to build. Difficult to do that online. Id defer to 2021 if you can
Which school?
I have had the same convo with executives who have their. For one, the MBA degree won’t say if it was online or not, you don’t have to say it was online in your resume. Two: If your aspirations are to be in the C-Suite or upper management, then you need an MBA. Make the choice for you. If you gotten into a top 10 program big the crap out of them for scholarships and grant/fellowship programs!
Fairly certain our NA CEO haa gotten pretty far with 'only' a BSIE from GT.
Congrats op. What score?
Why don’t you just put on your big boy pants and ask them if it’s online or not before you start stressing
Lol duh. Obviously no school is going to make that decision until the absolute last minute
If it's a Top 10 MBA school, you're right, is a no brainier. Go! It's worth it.
Not worth it to go into debt for a lesser known online school.
