MBA is overrated

If you don't get an MBA from a top program they're worthless

NYU MBA’s might start at 130k, but the ceiling is extremely high. Virtually non-existent. Of course that all depends on what you do with it from there. You can drive yourself to be successful a lot of different ways. The MBA, and the connections you acquire from it, provide you a lot of interesting options. Hard to think any career path will lead you to more $$ without a lot of work and personal sacrifice along the way.

NYU is historically a T15 program. Definitely do it if you want to pivot careers and if you can get in. Lots of companies offer huge signing bonuses to MBA grads to offset debt (banks and MBB specifically). My advice would be to save as much of your current 100k salary as you can before starting to minimize debt/col expenses in NYC. Also have a clear vision of what you want to do after MBA and make sure stern will get you there. Good luck!!

Let’s assume 60% tax effected annual increase in salary. That’s means an incremental take home of about $18k per year. Let’s also assume you get annual increases of 5%- resulting in last salary of $210. Add $150k in costs. Your all in $360k in last income and expenses. That’s a 20 year breakeven point.

Ey1, why do you think mbas are overrated?

Go for it if you can’t get the same job without MBA or can’t become partner. Starting salary from MBA is not a good indication of earning potential after MBA.

As someone commonly involved in first round interviews, here's some hopefully helpful advice around the 'Experience' section of your CV:

- Gaps in employment are important and are usually always discussed during interview
- Short spells with a past employer will be followed up on if not discussed during interview
- Soft skills are just as admirable as the usual hard/tech skills listed in your past employment
- A naturally driven and competent candidate could outshine their lack of experience
