Hello,
I recently got admitted into a target MBA program and I am wondering if I should enroll.
My ultimate goal post-MBA is landing a job, ideally in consulting (MBB is the ultimate goal). My concern is that I will only have 2 years of full time experience pre-MBA (non-consulting, mostly engineering and product specialist/manager), and this will make me much less competitive than my MBA peers for jobs.
Will I be at a huge disadvantage in recruiting for summer internships and post-MBA roles? I am concerned about dedicating money and 2 years of time into the MBA program only to come out of it jobless - is this justified? What is some general advice you could give me for deciding the next step in my life?
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing your insight! And alright... Is an MBA a good/reasonable thing to do 2 years into a career?
My pleasure! Well, that's exactly why I made that comment. It's to prompt you to take a step back and reflect a bit more on the overall journey :) This question does not have a definitive/absolute answer. Rather, it depends on the individual (situation, goals, desires, etc.)
