Neither - unless it’s a tier 1 MBA not worth the paper printed on. Especially if you already in business field.

Already in consulting since 6 years. And not interested in spending big bucks on the MBA

Totally agree, don't go if it's not top 10. That's the only way to make sure you have a better chance at a job that'll help you pay off your loan. Otherwise honestly it's not that worth it unless you don't have to pay for it for whatever reason. Then def go because it's an absolute blast to have two years off. I also think honestly a dual degree isn't worth it because I don't know if the marginal payoff to you isn't worth the cost of two degrees. I don't regret going, but I lucked into a good situation.

Hey! I've always wanted to get into IB (prestige, money, you name it), however now that I'm in a more laid back environment (better WLB, "easier work") it doesn't seem as attractive as before and the pay is quite good for an analyst level (I think the pay is competitive even comparing with IB's pay in my country) . I wanted to know if anyone had the same experience and what were your thoughts (pursue an MBA and leave your comfort zone and "good pay" or just stick with it). TIA!

I’m currently at a hospitality design firm in the DC area and while i love working on cool hotel projects, the work culture is toxic. Coworkers all gossip about each other, coworkers pass off blame when things go wrong on a project, and the principal doesn’t do anything about issues. The firm has no structure, workflow, standards, etc. and the company is very cheap and does not invest money into their staff. I make 65k with 4 yr experience. Should i leave?
