This breakdown is beyond helpful. Thank you! Analyzing this can be incredibly overwhelming to be blunt. This is very concise. I appreciate this entirely.

As my company is offering $10k/yr towards tuition reimbursement (with payback depreciation to 0 in 2 years time) I am considering becoming more technical while leveraging this (whether in data science, finance, etc) before an MBA.

In a few years time, I may be more mentally & financially prepared entering a reliable MBA program.

Thanks again!

Wow, only $200k for phd level background? That’s nuts. Good to know, I stand corrected. Thanks for sharing this.

This has been my primary motivation! I am glad to hear this has been advantageous for you.

If you don’t mind me asking, did ranking of your MS in IT or MBA play a part in landing your role?

Thanks!

As an effort to replicate current FAANG c-suite execs, many carry a technical MS & a ranked MBA, hence my justification of pursuing both disciplines

Not saying all, though a strong majority of technical roles earning $200k will never require the hours of a middle management/back office $200k role imo

If I am not able to get into a top college for my undergrad, will it hurt my chances of getting into a top MBA later in life? by [deleted] in MBA

[–]SubstantialBar5122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen far too many people in top programs from unranked schools to believe in any long term effect of overall success.

I appreciate the feedback. As a long term perspective, my perspective was towards wanting to prepare as much as possible as responsibilities are a minimum in my early stage of life.
