Hello Folks,

Wanted to know experience of MBA and non-MBA folks in Business Analysis and Product Management domain.
What are the pros and cons in the area you are working based on your education and experience.

If you are already quite skilled in your domain then having an MBA should be treated just an added advantage rather than a must have. Your domain knowledge, analytical skills, people skills matter more and these can be achieved without MBA as well. MBA definitely helps in getting the first job when you are out of the college but after that it mostly depends on how you shape your career.

Yes there are certain things an experience person brings in with his domain and experience and certain things a MBA graduate brings in. I think there should be a mix of both in May organization but seems there is a huge difference.

Would it be hard to get a exp associate role in advisory at a B4 as someone with about 10 months in audit at EY, 7 months experience in corporate accounting at a F300 and CPA? Hated my time at the F300 but had thought the grass would be greener in industry.
