Hi everyone,
Thinking about doing an MBA through GMAT after 4 years in IT 💭

I’m a developer exploring a shift into management, product, or consulting roles — would love to hear from anyone who’s taken a similar path:

🎓 Was the MBA worth it?
🌍 India or abroad — what worked better?
💡 Any GMAT or B-school tips?

Appreciate your insights 🙏

Ask yourself if you are ready to study again, spend money on the fees and pay the opportunity cost. Also, MBA jobs are declining.

I would suggest is to ask ChatGPT to do a deep research with the questions you have in mind.

Hello! I noticed some similar questions to the one I am about to ask and I apologize if I am being repetitive but I didn’t see this specifically (I am new so sorry if I am missing it). I am a RN and have been for 15 years. I was looking to transition into health tech but has been a bit more challenging than I expected. So, I have been working on trying to get in as a SDR but I am also taking a course for my PMP certification. Is this of value or should I focus on something else?
