Say, i don't go for an MBA and stay long term at ZS.

Currently home grown 3rd cycle AC with very strong reviews thus far in my tenure, is it going to be a problem to move ahead in the ladder within ZS ?

Is MBA a criteria considered for C>M or M> AP ?

I have a P on our project who doesn't have an MBA, but again times have changed a lot.

Hence kinda confused

P.S. Genuine thought trollers can stay away 🙏

I don’t think that’s the right approach to think of an MBA. It’s more than just position and money.
If you think you can manage or lead a team effectively without MBA, don’t bother with it, save money, earn more, keep growing and you will succeed.
If you think you want doors to different paths open for you, a better challenge and the willingness for leading team and making critical and challenging decisions, go for MBA.
Having said that, there’s no one path to development, you can reach the same end goal having taken different routes. All the best in your journey

There is no glass ceiling in ZS without a MBA - irrespective of track or level. Anybody can reach upto Principal without it. BC used to ask for MBA but not anymore.
