Would pursuing a MBA or similar graduate degree provide any actual impact to my career prospects? Whether pay or job responsibilities?

I feel like I don’t see the effects in marketing jobs as much unless you’re looking at executive level or higher.

Might help you go client-side. Many brand managers are MBAs (and are focused way more on the business than the creative.)

If you’ve got it, people will see it, not a piece of paper or three little letters by your name.

I’d save my money and time by pursuing real work experience with the goal of being exceptional at what you do.

Yes and… I’d see if there are limits to what you can learn on the job. When I was agency-side, I didn’t have a lot of client-facing opportunities. And we were so siloed that I missed out on a lot of business basics like managerial economics, finance, etc. B-school won’t equal an instant pay bump or promo, but it can fill gaps that some have found difficult to learn on the job. And those can help you ascend to management.

My friend (who works in house for a brand) got an MBA and it hasn’t helped him find a new job or help much with salary. Buuuut I’m sure there are many factors at play here. Tbh I’m not sure anyone cares about MBAs anymore?

One of my friends works as a Director in Nagarro. She has been there for 7 years and has a CTC of 42 with total yoe 17. Per current trend this is low even though she is a constant top performer. She says that even though delivery people play a pivotal role, they are not paid well. In her team, she sees technical people earning 45-50 at 10-11 yoe. So the factor is 2.5 for delivery vs 4.5 to 5 for technical roles. Per her, this is quite common in Nagarro & she is not an outlier. ctd in comments

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

I am holding two offers :
Wells Fargo: 33 lpa
PWC ac Bangalore: 33 lpa
Yoe: 8.3
Which company should i join considering job security, future growth , brand etc.

Been at a new job for a couple of months. Overall it’s been disappointing and I’m starting to feel anxiety for the future.

I’d been interviewing with this company for a while (off and on for 7 months+) and during that time made work I’m proud of and as of this past may, is award winning. (continued in comments)
