Yes

To add context: MBB will always put you a step down but over all brand name, compensation (long term view), exit options, trainings, support like research/slide design/knowledge etc much easier.

Definitely worth the exit

Yes. Makes even more sense to boomerang after few yrs

Possibly. Start with your goal and work backwards. It makes sense for some, but not others.

Don’t see many people bother with it from OC&C… not sure if it’s different elsewhere.

Selection bias. People who choose OC&C do not care as much as others about brand recognition. (Especially outside the UK)

Has anyone decided not to pursue an MBA after running an ROI calc?

Maybe I’m missing something, but even with a median comp out of HBS (top choice, ~$200k total comp), the payback period seems long and IRR seems low.

Totally understand that each person’s situation is unique, but it seems to make sense for people 1) with lower comp, 2) MBA scholarship or 3) desperate need of career pivot.

Any insight is greatly appreciated 🫡
