Will be up for a promotion to a corporate finance manager position soon bumping my salary to ~$150k. Is an MBA worth it to continue to grow within corporate finance? I feel like I dont need an MBA to grow at my current firm (looking at the MD profiles) but I dont see myself working here forever. Reason i am hesitant is because of the high tuition of programs and the salary outcomes are similar to what i am already making if i plan to not go into MBB/IB

Yeah probably within the next 2 years would be the potential plan

Might you consider part-time? Then you don't give up your salary and can accelerate your career in your current role then transition elsewhere (with the benefit of an MBA) in a few years.
