Age is not the issue. What you want to get out of an MBA matters.
Why would you leave the workforce for an MBA? Most large corps do tuition reimbursement…
They do reimbursement but you typically have to leave and then find a new job afterwards, and that company will potentially reimburse some. I’m not in consulting where it’s more apart of the model
Never too old, but consider whether getting your MBA will actually help get you where you want to go.
You are so young! I think it's perfectly ok to step away and work on yourself and your credentials. As long as you'd have financial support from friends and family, I think it'd be worth the endeavor.
Would you consider doing an executive mba program? A lot of the top tier schools offer that track as well.
On the investment, finance and accounting side, I’ve found that no one cares about an MBA unless you went to a top tier school (NYU, Yale, Harvard), etc). I went to Fordham and feel like mine didn’t help he career wise.
I would try to get into a top tier school first, if not, do a part time MBA at night and hopefully your employer can reimburse you for it.
Sales and trading is a lot less MBA-aligned than IBD or consulting, as far as I am aware. Not that they don’t need the MBA skillset, but it’s not the primary one for a trader.
Of course, not! You are still young. Just choose wisely the MBA program that you want to enroll in. Best of luck!
I don't think there is an age to take time off for school People in my industry do it all the time. I have also seen people having mini-retirements and returning to work without any problem.
I have been trying to figure the answer to this question for about a year now. I'm 24 with three years of work experience. I'd like to step away from work and pursue my MBA. This post and the comments are highly well intended. Thank you and good luck!!
Purpose of doing a full time MBA is the big thing, followed by where you do it. It’s not too old - if there is a good business case like switching to IB or something
Not at all - what matters more is that you have enough savings to not have solid income for 1-2 years. goodluck!
