For those at a B4 that started out of undergrad, has anyone done a part time MBA at a target school to get bumped to the MBA pay scale? Is this worth it?

If you stay at the same firm, you don’t get a bump (or your bump will be not very much, certainly not in line with MBA hires). Not worth it unless you switch firms or industries to leverage the degree.

It’s important to pay attention to what the MBA pay scale means. If you look at PwC, for example, they only hire at MBA pay scale for certain schools.

You could get an MBA from another school and NOT be on the pay scale, and I imagine many PT programs fall into that bucket.

Yep. Firms dole out MBA money for MBA talent because they are competing with other firms and roles who pay just as much. They are not paying MBA solely because the skill sets are worth it. If you’re already working for a firm, there’s no reason for them to pay you full MBA starting salary since you’re already an employee

💲For those who DON'T think a six figure salary is possible:

👉Just ask for it. Really, you would be surprised. Might be easier to switch to a new company and ask. I did that 3 years into my career.

And 🛑 wasting your time at a company that under-values you severely. Sometimes switching companies every 2 years or so will allow you to keep raising the bar for yourself.

Hey everyone! I’m struggling to decide whether I should pursue a full time MBA or a Part Time MBA. Truly, what scares me about a full time one is the fact that I won’t work for two years. I know it’s a big investment and I’ll be rewarded for ir later on, but the thought of it still scares me. I would love to get someone’s thoughts on this! Is the experience very different? Will I be exhausted if I do the part time? Is there something I’m not considering when it comes to the Full Time?
