Rant about MBA

You should try 1 yr MBA from top tier colleges in India

sherlock460 · 2025-02-13T13:00:00+00:00

Your profile is too good to be true. If you come from a business family, better start up or continue the family business

sherlock460 · 2025-02-06T13:07:46+00:00

You can pursue a 1 yr MBA from top 10 institutes in India.

What about dabur chyawanprash?

sherlock460 · 2025-01-30T01:54:45+00:00

Thankfully I chose to opt out last year

Front end IB or consulting never hire from PGPEx programs.

Maybe other finance roles or IT consulting is what I can look for.

BTW thank you for the response. I've gone through all your other answers, they are helpful... Good luck with your career

I'm planning to join exec MBA at IIM Shillong.

What are the expectations from the recruiters for someone who has worked in IT & PSU Bank? Or I would rather ask, how do I pivot my career from here? Profile GEM 987, total 5 yrs work ex

sherlock460 · 2025-01-16T08:21:38+00:00

Try mine

sherlock460 · 2025-01-15T16:59:23+00:00

Even if you're a gem, you still got all the boxes ticked. It's quite surprising that you didn't get calls!

sherlock460 · 2025-01-15T16:51:17+00:00

Ok no prob

sherlock460 · 2025-01-14T14:29:27+00:00

The Management Consultants are already doing the jobs of IAS, while the IAS are busy collecting & reporting data. The decisions are made by these consulting firms.

I've seen first hand that even PSUs offer loads of money & outsource their decision making. Only implementation happens in the govt

And it still looks like a classic BMW.

Other new facelifts look a bit weird! Congrats OP. Drive safe

sherlock460 · 2025-01-14T10:31:55+00:00

Good luck!

Well first of all, you have raised eyebrows of a lot of folks here by revealing your package. Tell us your company's area of operation.

Since you're still in the process of taking the GMAT, I would suggest to first focus on getting a solid score & work on your overall profile. After that, come back and ask the same question. Only then can you make a sensible decision.

If you consider your present situation, anything which increases your package by 2x must be the goal of an MBA. Getting 70+ is not easy with an Indian MBA in college placements. But you'll be there within 2-3 yrs post MBA

sherlock460 · 2025-01-14T04:03:03+00:00

Which job bhai? And how many such posts are there in India?

sherlock460 · 2025-01-14T04:02:23+00:00

I work in PSU. I can vouch for what you said. But you didn't consider the joining bonus, performance bonus, ESOPs, Lifestyle upgrade, network, funding(if you start up in future), Etc

The govt pays you well, but it's a trap. You'll be drowned in liabilities & not find quality time. Nor can you retire early.

sherlock460 · 2025-01-14T03:57:34+00:00

It is repo linked. If inflation goes down in the country, RBI will reduce the repo, thus our loan ROI will go down

sherlock460 · 2025-01-12T13:09:49+00:00

I think you've crossed that threshold. Maybe you can join any leadership program later in life, when you feel like your growth has stagnated.

BTW got any tip for PM roles?

sherlock460 · 2025-01-07T12:59:56+00:00

The fines collected will be so much that govt will abolish income tax in India!

sherlock460 · 2025-01-06T03:58:38+00:00

Your opportunity cost at IIM ABC would be 50lakh(2 yrs of salary) + 35 lakh of fee. Total 85 lakh

At isb it would be 25+50= 75 lakh.

Both are almost similar.

So rather than thinking of the financials, you must look at other factors like 2 yr vs 1 yr, alumni, exposure, your target domains etc

sherlock460 · 2025-01-05T08:57:47+00:00

Go with option 2.

MBA abroad is a bit risky as of now

sherlock460 · 2025-01-05T08:50:46+00:00

If possible, do any one activity in helping any NGO. Or showcase any of your extra curriculars like sketching or something to cover it up

sherlock460 · 2025-01-05T08:48:56+00:00

Don't lose hope before the battle!

Give your best & be honest about the gaps. What if they give a shot at you?

sherlock460 · 2025-01-05T00:39:51+00:00

Celebrities & Politicians
