Would you take up a full time MBA program if you had to go back to work for your firm for 2 years after it? It’s a tempting offer for me but I feel like 2 years is a large ask, especially with current market conditions. Is this reasonable or should I decline the offer and just pay out of pocket for the degree?

Free MBA (e.g., drink and have fun) for two years with a guaranteed job in an awful environment for high paying white collar roles?

Also you can always take the offer, do the mba, and if you get something better pay for your MBA after the a fact.

If you’re young, without responsibilities, can afford 2 years without pay it’s kinda a no brainer

This isn’t 2017-2021 when high paying opportunities were plentiful.

That is very reassuring

If consulting is the long term goal and you are young, I would take it in a heartbeat

I would take that. 2 years is a drop in the bucket for how long it can take to pay off an MBA. I’m surprised it isn’t longer.

It really depends, you’ll be giving out two years of salary, the company get you for two years or if they throw you out early upon return you pay the full cost

Currently making 180 TC at a large bank and have an offer from a FAANG for 260 TC. Salary is not much different (165) but bonus/equity structure is decent. fully remote, dope company etc. I’ll be moving laterally in terms of title but I get the impression the scope/impact is larger and leveling is different in tech… no brainer?
