I exited to Google a few months ago. I’m enjoying my Strat role, based in Mountain View. However I still have thoughts of an MBA, mostly because it feels like I’d be missing out if I didn’t do one, not like I actually need one. I just turned 25, so I’ve got a little time. Curious to hear your thoughts if I should do one or not.

What were you prior ?

Coincidentally an Analyst at GS/JPM.

Ok ya it'll be a good exp

Worth the $200k though? It’s so much...

You'll get a scholarship probably and then internship and signing will pay off most of it

Assuming I don’t get a scholarship? Would you still go?

Same boat as you OP. Want to go buy trying to justify the cost. Would be something nice to look back on but ooooof that bill.
