Absolutely worth it. In a top 20 mba right now. Learning a greater breadth than I ever had working at the firm for 5 years. I started my own company in school, and am absolutely loving it. Plus when you factor in corporate sponsorship (65-130k) , plus getting time paid out for leaving (15k), plus signing bonuses on top of tuition (45k) plus scholarships, plus tax benefits, that can more than pay for the entire cost of grad school. So all you’re left with is opportunity cost of salary for 2 amazing years where you’ll learn a ton, travel a ton, and probably add a few years to life expectancy due to less stress. Definitely go get your MBA if you’re interested in all that

That’s low AF, for SC. If you switch to a big 4 strategy group even without an MBA you could get 120k

like

MBA cost = 200k. No salary for 2 years = $200k.
Assume pay bump around 40k more after MBA. So it’s about 10 years to break even I guess but after 10 years, I’m not sure degree matters. If it’s purely for money, I’d reconsider. Just my 2 cents.

If you don’t get your company to pay for the MBA, even with a top program it will take you about 10 years to break even.

MBA is only worth it if you get into top program. Otherwise just do a part time check off the box school. It’s not worth going in debt and giving up 2 years of income to go to anything lower than top 15 (which nets you 140-150k salary).

Also, try to get your company to pay for it as top programs are like 50-60k a year.

SC at BAH is the level you get after 2 years post UG. SC at Deloitte is the post MBA so BAH’s equivalent is Associate. Op, you should be happy at 90k at that level. If you want more money you don’t have to go the MBA route yet, go Commercial.

So sounds like SC at Booz is a C at Deloitte. 90k is a good salary for a C at Deloitte. It takes 4/5 years to get to SC at D

SC at BAH is second tier- yep, welcome to federal consulting.

@A1 How so?

Thanks EY1. I checked at Ross and apparently they do. They have a good weekend program that you can do in two years. Costs the same as FT two year program.

Your comments will be really helpful.

Thank you.

I would appreciate your perspective.
I am currently working on my MBA in a professional evening and weekend program at a highly accredited university. I am thinking about transferring to a much smaller private online program, specifically because they offer a concentration in organizational health, which directly builds on my doctoral research. Does great depth and specialization outweigh the value of a highly respected generalist degree?
