Hi! Guys

I am in lurch pls suggest me few things.

I am working in a small management consulting firm in Infrastructure practice my sal is 3.6lacs net. Pls suggest with this kind of pay in hand do u think if i go for MBA thru CET anything below JBIMS is acceptable.

Please help guys as last year i got into Somaiya but i didnt take up as i think with three years of work experience am better off without SIMSR MBA degree.

Pls advice on this guys.

Regards
Subhash

Hi Subhash,
Looks like you are in pretty much the same state as I and many of my friends are. But I suggest that, stick to the top 10 ranks coz with your work-ex of 3 yrs, no point going for low ranked cllgs. And at the end of the day, money matters. After leaving a job which pays u 3.6 lkhs for 2 yrs (obvi ur sal will increase in that period) and investing money in a cllg as fees, u will def. expect returns asap, and thats assured with the top ranked cllgs.....not that its not with the above 15-20th ranked ones, just that, the journey of making that amnt of money MAY be longer....
But do take opinions from ppl who are already pursuing their MBA with previous work ex. maybe they can give a better insight...TC.

Regards,
Amod.

Hi
I would say stick to ur job unless u can make it to the top 10...
even top 10 instis wont guarantee you a good ROI unless u fair decently in there...
its a jungle out here and every moment u struggle for existence.....
sometimes u actually wonder when ths gets over.....
believe me its tough....
i left a very cushy job that had lures of longterm onsites and lotsa money.....
so i understand ur dilemma...
one thng is for sure..if u r looking for short term returns then better stick to ur job....MBA generally pays in the long run....
thnk over ur priorities and wt u want to achieve..
