MBA from UT Dallas (Jindal) good enough ? Hi, just wanted some advice, is it a good investment to get an MBA from UT Dallas, based on the rankings from mba guide dot org it says its the top ranked mba program in Texas. Currently Making $75,000 base as a junior securities analyst. hoping to break $90 TC within the next 6 months if I am able to get promoted to senior analyst.
Any advice is appreciated. Thank You.

UT Dallas is not the top ranked mba program in Texas.

That being said, a top mba isn’t needed to clear $90k TC.

Agreed. I’d probably stack UT Austin and Rice over UTD. SMU is a toss up

What are you using the MBA for? Is it required for your field to get you to your goals? If it’s not needed for the role you’re in I’d suggest against it. Especially if all you are wanting is to increase your TC by $15,000

Full time, unless you are going to a top 20 or have it being paid for, it isn’t worth it. In general, the ROI isn’t high enough.

Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.

1) How much does Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. value MBAs in the hiring process?

2) Anyone currently working at the companies above with only a BBA?
