Hi All,
Persistent Systems is giving 10% variable on gross annual CTC. HR says you would receive minimum 70% of variable pay every month and remaining 30% will credited once a year at the end.
Does anyone has idea on this? Can I believe this and include 70% variable in my take home

No límit, just yearly caps. Yeah I’m looking into “flex”programs but a top 10 mba is easily 200k and most don’t offer part time so the reimbursement is a small fraction
Probably not worth the jump because you won’t be selected for a few years. Unless you want Lilly long term
Now sure how much a MBA degree adds value to your current job function. I guess it’s a balance of not working for these 2 years as full time MBA student vs gaining experience within these 2 days at current job and get progression promotion. The amount of work to put into these top10 MBA programs is not less than daily job. I’d prefer to work than getting another degree. (I’ve got my doctoral degree before joining Merck, so my perspective might be different.)
Merck has lots of recorded online HBS classes and a bunch of other learning materials. If you’re just trying to learn more management material, I think these may be plenty to explore.
Full-time MBA program is more about the networking. I met several MBA folks in my school (one of the top10 MBA program) back when I was getting my PhD and they’re all about meeting people and making connections. The higher rank of the MBA school, the higher the “elite” class is. It’s like paying the tuition to meet the higher ranking people.
I guess for EMBA, it certainly opens network to those who’re in the top positions.
OP, is there a limit on total amount reimbursed for a specific program. If you are not looking to graduate in 2 yrs or less, one option is to take the minimum course requirement and stretch the program to 4 years. That brings you closer to $50K. Some MBA part-time programs offer scholarship to folks from life sciences.
