Recently had Flighty recommended to me on the App store. I've used it the last couple of flights for clients and the updates have been a huge time saver. It can also map out all the flights you've ever taken. Pretty cool seeing how many miles I've done across all airlines. Also kind of sad to see how many DAYS I've spent stuck on a plane flying to a client site.
Definitely recommend checking it out: www.flightyapp.com/

Only for the top programs
You could also do an evenings or weekends program and not lose out on the 2 years of salary
I’m very close with my graduating class as well, actually most of them replaced my other friend groups haha. It is possible to get a lot of great networking from a PT program. Online programs however, nah.
Went to a top 20, had a salary of $55 going in, came out with $150. Definitely depends what you want to do long term and current salary. If I was in consulting pre-MBA not sure I would have done it (i.e., don't know if the jump from $100 to $150 after 2 years of lost salary would be worth it).
Besides the money aspect, learned more than expected. Had finance undergrad and learned how to actually apply the analytics through the MBA. Plus grew a huge network of like minded people in a variety of industries.
Top 10 only.
Don’t have an MBA. Promoted to director when I “should” have been getting an MBA. Income went from low $200k to $400k in 2 years. Made partner a few years later. Income now in the 7 figures.
Which firm and service line? Confusing titles
Do a cost benefit analysis accounting for opportunity cost
Check the program websites.
HBS was around 150k with little variance across geography
I made the jump from 100 to 150. The benefit was that I was able to switch to consulting. Don’t think I could’ve made the switch without an mba. I have more exit ops as a result of it.
26M, already making $200k in LA, so for me - it’s not worth it.
It depends on your long term objectives and how you are measuring returns..
It depends what you’re going to use it for. I worked as a consultant for a large engineering company and their HR department didn’t recognize an MBA as a masters, only an MS in an engineering discipline when calculating pay. At that particular company it definitely wasn’t worth it. Other companies may put significant value on it.
I did top 20. No loans. 50% merit scholarship and savings and family support for the rest.
Absolutely no regrets.
Top school + top consulting or IB or FAANG exit. If not, no
It all depends.
Going to a top program is a prerequisite if you are paying as opposed to your company.
If you want to pivot to finance or strategy it may be a necessity.
I went through the process but opted not to go because of the risk and the ROI. I see more value in a law degree at this point.
