Damn that’s a tough one . Usually I would say go for $$& but it is GSB .

If you can afford it then go to GSB . If you think you’ll struggle and can’t maximize your mba than go to Sloan . Both will get you to mbb or FAANG, but I think the network and long term opportunities at GSB will be unrivalled.

Many of your mba colleagues will be financially well off and/ or sponsored so money does become a big factor when networking and having fun . Being poor in a great university can destroy the experience

Never ever not go to GSB/HBS. 150k is irrelevant over a 30-year career, and there’s a crevasse between GSB and Sloan in opportunities, market value and recognition

Depends on your long term goal, if you want to pivot to finance in long term, then it’s GSB

I would say GSB too. Also, you go OP! What’s your story?

Hi a friend of mine has an offer from HCL for the role of Senior Manager Operations KYC/AML. they are offering him a 15% hike, which does not seem fair as he was expecting a minimum 30% hike given he is from a premier b-school and has over 7 years of work ex. Any idea how much HCL pays at this level?
