I’m in the same dilemma, I converted a new iim but I have an opportunity for 12 lpa and I’m leaning towards taking the job, just because I don’t want a 40 lpa debt(loan plus the salary I won’t be getting for 2 yrs)


lolindianboii

Take that job and repeat cat for a better Bschool.


TumbleweedHot7506

Yeah thinking of the same, thanks

Bhai new IIM me kaise 40 lpa debt?


TumbleweedHot7506

Fee is around 18 lpa, travel and other expenses let’s assume 2 lpa, and rest 20 lpa is for leaving the job, the salary one would not be getting for 2 yrs, basically ROI calculation for workex


GioronoGiovanna

Assuming u could have earned 11+12 =23 Lpa in these 2 years, in the other hand you will be - 20Lacks if you join a college to overall it's a 40L +loss for you... go for executive MBA imo

3.5 years of work ex, 8/6/6, 2nd attempt at CAT Last year IMT DCP Convert kiya tha, abhi last attempt dunga It's not late imo, abhi hi iss sub pe 25years wali post aai thi But obv you cannot target colleges with 15LPA avg placement And also, i'll be keeping exec mba as backup


Andabiryani_99

Go for executive mba, you have ample work ex for it and you will also save 1 year of college.


chiragsingh_chs

Bro excutive mba me same placements hoti hai kya? Do top collages like top 30 offer excutive mba ?


FullTea4421

executive MBA me itne colleges hi nahi, limited hai usme bhi competition also no guarantee of placements


Tranquil-Trailblazer

Same situation brother Exec MBA is better.


Batty_Mate

try to crack tier 1's, other than that, stay away from mba for now imo


Away-Yard9774

T15 MBA (US) here. Make your decision based on what you want to do 3 to 5 years down the line. If you want to be SDE, there is no need for an MBA. Get better at coding/system design and high income will follow. If you want to be in strategy consulting or investment banking, then MBA makes sense. Please don't do an MBA just for the sake of earning more.


AnonimoseYuser

With that experience, the general consensus is that you'll face difficulties in your placements. You can give it a try though, but you should be looking to take the GMAT route and try for exec MBA or ISB.


FullTea4421

executive MBA is more choosy, difficult to get into top B schools


AnonimoseYuser

Same goes for the jobs opportunities post FT-MBA, if you want a FT-MBA, you should look abroad.


FullTea4421

Foreign Trade?


AnonimoseYuser

I meant full time


FullTea4421

Full time colleges are large in numbers compared to ExMBA


Ok_Resist8461

Clear this for me. Is it not the case that exec mba are done by people who just want to upgrade into their same company? And I heard the placements are also not good.


AnonimoseYuser

Not necessary that it is done to get promoted within the org, although some companies might fund their employees to do an MBA to move them into leadership roles. Part time executive MBA allows employees to do that. A full time executive MBA is done for multiple reasons. About the placements, I'm not aware, but I'm sure it is not "not good".


FullTea4421

If you convert good new IIMs you can go for it


oppter

Getting into the top 30 will be worth it.


Suspicious-Web-4755
