Anyone who went from FDD > M7 MBA, was the MBA worth it?

Have to imagine it would be worth it but depends on what your goals are / financial situation

Will amend by saying look at your current earnings trajectory vs. potential post M7 (10 year horizon?) and determine a) what the ROI is and b) if that’s worth paying down debt / the risk of not being content with post M7

Also without knowing you background I can probably say part-time will have significantly higher ROI as you aren’t missing out on 300-500k opportunity cost. However that limits school choices and has a few other drawbacks. Best of luck!

At what point does the value of a degree fall off? I'm in my early 30s, and have five years of experience, and work on a very theoretically interesting project. I believe I'm on track to promotion in the next year. So, I could put in a year of full time school to check the box off, but I'd be sacrificing hobbies and social life (not to mention cost). Is this FOMO or is there real opportunity here?
