For those considering an MBA, just do it.

Got a full ride to a T25 with 3YOE, went from $120K to $235K total comp coming out at 27.

One of the best decisions I’ve ever made. If you think you can finish top of your class, it’s worth it. Big fish, small pond mentality

I was happy going from 75 to 150k. Congrats on 235. Yes take the full ride. A sticker wouldn’t have made me a different person.

If you had not gotten any $$$?

Still think it would have been worth it. It would have taken me a solid 5-10 years to make what I am making now with my previous job trajectory. It’s definitely a long-term play, but an MBA is one of the best bets you can make: on yourself.

Chose not to go - was already on 230k when I would have started. Probably would have been a career setback. Not always worth it for everyone

Yes already at MBB and Manager though was not approved for sponsorship. Company has tightened the rules for sponsorship

What do you do?

My colleagues
Just to put some intro
I am 22 years after college experience and worked in consulting for 15 years and currently in industry for 7 years.
My long term goal is to go back to consulting more of a business advisor from a strategy perspective
Here is my question
Would MBA be any good for me especially looking at strategy side?
I don’t want to spend $200K and would probably go online MBA in a mid tier school. Are those any good?
Looking forward to your great input on this topic

Does an MBA (US) make sense for me? Male, Indian, Age 32, Married working in tech consulting with 10 YOE. Base is $165 with steady increases and bonus is typically 15%. I eventually do want to cross the $300K threshold but I know stopping work for 2 years and getting and MBA probably won’t get me a $300K job right away. Becoming a manger in my current company/path will probably get me there in terms of TC. Also considering EMBA from a good school (Wharton Global, Duke, Kellogg, Booth).
