Currently making ~130k on track to manager promo in a year max. Is it worth it getting an MBA (assuming full ride scholarship)? Not from the US so not sure what additional benefits would come with MBA

How are you getting a full ride?

Niche scholarships (not guaranteed but only considering going if I get them)

Depends. TC for top graduates at M7 is 250-300k with steep salary trajectories. If you have a pathway where you’re at then no need, but each firm is different.

For example, TC with 3YOE at Deloitte is ~$125k whereas I was at $245k returning to the firm after school (with effectively the same YOE).

Interesting, based on what I’ve read here MBA grad pay is more like 160..? What grad exits would pay that much? Deloitte would pay an MBA grad 200+?

Hey guys, need some advice. I was fortunate enough to get the Consortium fellowship at Ross but am also stuck on the CBS waitlist and am still planning to apply to Wharton in R3. Assuming I get into CBS/Wharton, is there that much of a difference between them to forgo scholarship money? For context, I want to get into product management at FAANG/fintech with pursuing MBB as a plan B. Thanks in advance!

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per
hour (FP&A Analyst)…the company
recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!
