Is it worth going to MBA from top 10 in US considering the ROI

I am 28, Single
Already have a masters and I was working at EY for past 4 years.
I am not sure where do I really want to go after MBA. Already have experience in tech consulting so not sure I want to do consulting.
Investmemt Banking is one option but there will be no WLB
I do want to go into Product Management or Strategy roles within Industry
Really want to learn more about Finance and Strategy but dont know of other options.

What things should I consider before I decide to go for MBA?

The problem is working in consulting, I feel like I have touched business function working in Supply Chain, Finance, Tech Implementations and business development side of things. The only thing I can think is how can I optimize for money for few more years. Potentially think to either go in Finance roles or Product Management roles

Honestly my interest more in Supply Chain though

If you already have a master's and want knowledge of an MBA and don't need the prestige of the school, then choose a lower-cost school. They teach basically the same concepts.

The prestige of a T10 school almost always leads to a higher salary, but requires you to be willing to leave upon graduation. Thats how you benefit.
