Is it worth it, Ill be debt free in 10 years roughly (when I turn 35ish) and my peers would have built enough wealth through compounding by then

Try INSEAD/ or other intl schools if you want to be safe?

Don’t do Insead or lbs as an international. I did lbs for MiM and our international mbas struggled so much to find jobs, same for Insead. But yes I’m in the same boat of debating whether going to the US is a good idea given Trump

lol

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence

Just to put some intro
I am 22 years after college experience and worked in consulting for 15 years and currently in industry for 7 years.
My long term goal is to go back to consulting more of a business advisor from a strategy perspective
Here is my question
Would MBA be any good for me especially looking at strategy side?
I don’t want to spend $200K and would probably go online MBA in a mid tier school. Are those any good?
Looking forward to your great input on this topic
