If I’m already past the post MBA level at my firm is going to H/S/W for an MBA worth it? Not planning a major career pivot or anything. Went to a top 5 undergrad if that makes any difference. Even if my firm pays for it, the opportunity cost seems brutal

For those three, there’s definitely value in attending. The network that you’d build could be tremendously beneficial in the future - especially if you stay until PPMD, at those levels selling work is 100% relationship based.

I’d say it’s 50/50, but you definitely won’t go wrong either way!

Was in the same situation - decided to go. Best 2 years of my life and met my wife. Hard to put a price on the experience itself (meeting lifelong friends, understanding what you want to do long term, traveling)

I’m leaning on no. I’m not from a top undergrad but I just don’t see myself not working for 2 years. Plus there’s not a lot of top MBAs in NY and don’t plan on relocate. Plus I don’t want to take the GMAT.

No

Both has pretty equal benefits but depends on where you plan to end up in 2-4 years. But I’m leaning on no

You should go. It’s hard to put a value on the experience - it’s a two year break that is very very fun
