For first years how has your experience been? Have you liked the MBA so far? At an m7 and it’s been meh. I got an internship though.

Which m7

Current T10 first year. Recruiting is good for IB and consulting but subpar for everything else. I’ve made tons of great friends (some I’d say lifelong) and learned some new things but I feel like the curriculum has not kept up with the real world.

Very few of us are going to be well positioned for the GenAI economy. I find that recruiters cater to the lowest common denominator and assume that all MBA students were making sub 120k and don’t know business. Feel like it’s a step back to go back to recruiting for IC roles. If you’re in a management position already (and like your industry) I’d strongly consider foregoing an MBA unless it’s HBS/GSB. If you really want the degree and network then do a good executive or PT program down the line.

Experience trumps all now. Hopefully I’m proven wrong and the network pays dividends long term. I’m probably overindexing on the fact that I’m now heavily in debt, used to have high income (150k+), and the job market is rough. But I really only think a FTMBA only makes sense if you have the GI bill, sponsorship, scholarship, or wealthy parents that are covering it.

Yeah but then you have to do IB lol

Or is an MBA sooner a good move because of my big career transition (and future lateral)?
