An M7 MBA program is 100% worth it. Top 25 probably slight positive if you were making less than 100k before or are going to work in IB, Consulting or PE at a top tier firm afterwards.

Every other MBA is basically useless.

^ I did this. NYU MBA to Strategy&. ~$210k (base + bonus) and another $30k in signing bonus in year 1 out of the program. + the trajectory from there is pretty insane if you stick with it.
Was making $65k in a civil engineering role prior to the MBA.

My income has 4x in the 8 years since starting an MBA, and opened doors that would not have been available without an MBA.

I would look up the employment reports of the top programs and see what the exit offers are by industry you’re interested in. Should help with the ROI and breakeven analysis.

Youre seeing conflicting info because your sources aren't accounting for the fact that not all MBAs are the same.

Like others said, if you go to a top program, it is almost certainly worth it. If you are talking about a random program nobody heard of, then it may be a waste of time and money.

I am very happy with my full time M7 MBA and related outcomes.
