Hi Fishes,
I want your valuable inputs. If we go for a full time MBA with 4 YOE as a developer, will that be a disadvantage at the B school during placements and all. Also will it be a good idea to do an MBA then?

Yes, Tier 4 Engineering = Tier 1 MBA pay

Thanks for the reply. But tier 4 engineering and tier 1 mba pay ? Seems like you mixed up some numbers 😅

Depends on
1. Which B school
2. What jobs you apply for

You obviously won’t get short lists for marketing based jobs. They prefer freshers.

Tech sales might be possible.
PM would be a realistic goal.

You’ll face some roadblocks in a 2-year MBA but with good grades you’ll be able to manage just fine.
ISB is a much better fit for people with >3 YOE.

3 YOE before MBA.
I wanted to go for a 2-year MBA, hence exited at that point. Most 2-year B schools have points for work ex and these points start going down after 3 YOE.

Think about 1 year PGPM from a good B School rather than 2 years course. Better option for your experience and in terms of ROI and opportunity cost.
