I don’t think it should be just immediately.

You need a trend, 1, 3, 5 etc

For me, I went from:
- 85 (pre MBA) to 120 (post MBA)
- 3 years: around 200k
- 5 years: 350-400k
- 10 years: 1m

All rough numbers, so for me, ROI was high

Hmm shouldnt you theoretically compare the salary you would have had w/o the mba to your post mba salary? Not the salary you last had when you started school

I agree, that’s a good point. I’ll look into that as well

Pre-MBA: 105K
Immediate Post-MBA: 175K
1 Year Post-MBA: 200K
2 Year Post-MBA: 220K
3 Year Post-MBA: 250K
4 Year Post-MBA: 400K
5 Year Post-MBA: ???

Hoping to hit 500-600K next year or two. 1M within next 4-5 years.

~317% for salary alone, 328% for TC. Went from compliance (where salary made up about 2/3 of my total comp) to strategy consulting.

Worth noting that my pre-MBA comp got frozen during COVID. So never got a raise after 2019 (I started my MBA in 2021).

like

Consultant 1, curious how many years experience did you have pre mba. did you go full time or part time, and lastly did the school (top 20 vs top 50) have a role to play in your post MBA job as well as salary.

TC increased 118%

- 110 Pre MBA
- 240 Post MBA

I think it’s more important to view comp increases in addition to baseline. For me, I was receiving about 7% annual raises. If I had not completed an MBA I would have been ~135 TC, at the same time with no MBA…so a 44% jump above trend.

Happy with the investment and the friends made along the way.
